Preface

The Law

Society

of

Upper Canada

has

many time honoured traditions.

One of the

more important traditions

is the

Special Lectures

Series,

which

we

inaugurated

in

1943.

The

Special Lectures

are now a

regular

event

in the

Society's

Continuing

Legal

Education Program.

We are

proud

of the

Lectures.

The

members

of the

legal profession recognize

the

Special Lectures

series

for its

quality

and

utility

to the

legal profession. This

is

due,

undoubtedly,

to the

outstanding contributions

of the

program

faculty.

Each

year

the

Lectures bring together legal experts

of

national

and

inter-

national prominence

to

share their ideas

and

perspectives

on a

particu-

lar

area

of

law.

We

devoted this year's series

to

"The

Law of

Evidence". Speakers

and

participants examined evidentiary issues

of

current relevance

to

barristers

and

solicitors

involved

in

almost every area

of

law.

Special

thanks

to the

distinguished contributing authors

from

the

most

senior

levels

of the

Bench

and Bar for

sharing

their expertise

with

the

profession

in

this well-written, comprehensive publication.
