See Legal History Blog Post on JCPC and the Empire

I don't usually duplicate or link to posts from the Legal History Blog, even if they relate to Canada or Canadians in some way or because I assume that most if not all readers of this blog subscribe to that one as well (and if you don't you should--it's wonderful). But I think this post  is worth drawing attention to, as the article has great significance for Canadian legal historians right across the board.
