FlahertyProfessor Emeritus David Flaherty passed away on October 11, 2022, in Victoria. In the 1970s and 1980s David was a Professor of Law and History at what was then the University of Western Ontario. Although principally an Americanist, he was an ideal choice to organize and edit the Osgoode Society’s first major forays into serious publishing in Canadian legal history. Essays in the History of Canadian Law Volume I was published in 1981 and Essays in the History of Canadian Law Volume Two was published in 1983, both edited and introduced by David. These two volumes put the Osgoode Society ‘on the map’, and included contributions by many scholars who went on to dominate the field for decades: Constance Backhouse, Blaine Baker, Jamie Benidickson, Paul Craven, Hamar Foster, Richard Risk and Paul Romney. David also ran a legal history summer seminar at Western for a number of years, which introduced many others to the discipline. David’s contribution to the Osgoode Society and to Canadian legal history was crucial to the development of the field in the 1980s. He came to Toronto for our fortieth anniversary dinner some years ago, and was delighted with what he helped so much to start has become.

Saywell Prize for best recent book on the history of the Canadian Constitution or Canadian federalism!
John T. Saywell Prize for Canadian Constitutional Legal History
The Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History administers the Saywell Prize. The Prize was established by the generosity of the family and friends of the late Professor John T. (Jack) Saywell, to recognise the outstanding contribution to Canadian political and legal history of Professor Saywell. Among his other work Professor Saywell was the author of The Law Makers: Judicial Power and The Shaping of Canadian Federalism, published by the Osgoode Society in 2002.
The Saywell Prize is given bi-annually to the best new book in Canadian legal history, broadly defined, that makes an important contribution to an understanding of the constitution and/or federalism. In exceptional circumstances, the jury could also consider a seminal article or series of articles, some of the latter not written in the two-year period, to satisfy the objectives of the award.
The Saywell Prize may be awarded in 2022, for a book published in 2020 or 2021. The deadline for nominations is May 15, 2022. Please email nominations to j.phillips@utoronto.ca.

Peter Oliver Prize in Canadian Legal History

Students in any discipline at any stage of their careers are eligible. The Society takes a broad view of legal history, one that includes work in socio-legal history, legal culture, etc., as well as work on the history of legal institutions, legal personnel, and substantive law.
Students may self-nominate their published work, and faculty members are also encouraged to nominate student work of which they are aware. Those nominating their own work should send a copy of it to the Society.
The deadline for nominations for the 2022 Prize, to be awarded for work published in 2021, is May 31, 2022.

was created on the occasion of the retirement as Chief Justice of Ontario
of the Hon. R. Roy McMurtry. It honours the contribution to
Canadian legal history of Roy McMurtry, Attorney-General and Chief
Justice of Ontario, founder of the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal
History and for many years the Society’s President. The fellowship was
established by Chief Justice McMurtry’s friends and colleagues, and
endowed by private donations and the Law Foundation of Ontario.<br />
<br />
The fellowship is to support graduate (preferably doctoral) students or
those with a recently completed doctorate, to conduct research in
Canadian legal history, for one year. Scholars working on any topic in
the field of Canadian legal history are eligible. Applicants should be in
a graduate programme at an Ontario University or, if they have a
completed doctorate, be affiliated with an Ontario University. The
fellowship may be held concurrently with other awards for graduate study.
Eligibility is not limited to history and law programmes; persons in
cognate disciplines such as criminology or political science may apply,
provided the subject of the research they will conduct as a McMurtry
fellow is Canadian legal history. The selection committee may take
financial need into consideration. <br />
<br />
The fellowship will be awarded in June 2022, and will have a value of
$17,000. Applications will be assessed by a committee appointed by
the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History and consisting of Society
Directors and academics. Those interested should apply by sending:<br />
<br />
A full curriculum vitae.<br />
<br />
A statement of the research, not exceeding 1,000 words, that they would
conduct as a McMurtry fellow. The statement should clearly convey the
nature of the project, the research to be carried out, and the
relationship, if any, between the project and previous work done by the
applicant. The names and email addresses of two academic referees should
be included. Please do not ask your referees to write; the Society will
contact them if necessary.<br />
<br />
For persons not currently connected with an Ontario University, an
indication of how and when they intend to obtain such a connection.<br />
<br />
Please send applications to Amanda Campbell, Osgoode Society for Canadian
Legal History, Osgoode Hall, 130 Queen Street West, Toronto, M5H 2N6, or

Philip Girard’s prize-winning work on the history of law in Canada has shaped the field and redefined its agenda for the twenty-first century. Tracing the roots of today’s legal pluralism to the historic encounter of two European empires with Indigenous peoples in northern North America, he stresses how this pluralism allowed Quebec civil law to flourish on a continent of common law and now creates space for the renaissance of Indigenous law. Lori Chambers is a legal historian who focuses on gender. She has published books on marital property law, the treatment of unmarried mothers, the law of adoption and child welfare, and intimate partner violence. She is currently involved in a number of projects on various aspects of police and legal responses to gender-based violence. She is also a community activist in the movement to end gendered, sexualized, and racially-motivated violence.</p></div>Mary Stokeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18352078944541937323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514850989838320420.post-15789026658338393552021-08-19T12:24:00.001-04:002021-08-19T12:27:58.175-04:00Friends of Canadian Legal History ..<p>who are not already on our listserv please take note of (terrific) upcoming zoom events: (and sign up for our newsletters or join the society.

Roy McMurtry Fellowship in Legal Histor</span></strong>y<br />
<br />
The R. Roy McMurtry Fellowship in Legal History was created in 2007, on
the occasion of the retirement as Chief Justice of Ontario of the Hon. R.
Roy McMurtry. It honours the contribution to Canadian legal history of
Roy McMurtry, Attorney-General and Chief Justice of Ontario, founder of
the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History and for many years the
Society's President.<br />
<br />
The fellowship of $16,000 is to support graduate (preferably doctoral)
students or those with a recently completed doctorate, to conduct
research in Canadian legal history, for one year. Scholars working on any
topic in the field of Canadian legal history are eligible. Applicants
should be in a graduate programme at an Ontario University or, if they
have a completed doctorate, be affiliated with an Ontario University.<br />
<br />
The fellowship may be held concurrently with other awards for graduate
study. Eligibility is not limited to history and law programmes; persons
in cognate disciplines such as criminology or political science may
apply, provided the subject of the research they will conduct as a
McMurtry fellow is Canadian legal history. The selection committee may
take financial need into consideration. Applications will be assessed by
a committee appointed by the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History.<br />

Oliver Prize in Canadian Legal History</span></strong><br />
<br />
The Peter Oliver Prize in Canadian Legal History was established by the
Society in 2006 in honour of Professor Peter Oliver, the Society's
founding editor-in-chief. The prize is awarded annually for published
work (journal article, book chapter, book) in Canadian legal history
written by a student.<br />
<br />
Students in any discipline at any stage of their careers are eligible.
The Society takes a broad view of legal history, one that includes work
in socio-legal history, legal culture, etc., as well as work on the
history of legal institutions, legal personnel, and substantive law.<br />
Students may self-nominate their published work, and faculty members are
also encouraged to nominate student work of which they are aware. Those
nominating their own work should send a copy of it to the Society.<br />
The deadline for nominations for the 2021 Prize, to be awarded for work
published in 2020, is May 31, 2021.<br />

book, The King's Peace: Empire and Order in the British Empire. The book uses
colonial peacekeeping as a lens through which to examine the shifting parameters
of crown prerogative in Empire in the Age of Revolutions. This paper will argue
that the legal vulnerability of (and often threats to order posed by) a diverse
array of subjects - formerly French Catholics in Quebec, Caribbean slaves and
NSW convicts - both prompted and justified the unravelling of the very idea of
the freeborn Englishman that had been mobilised by protestant Britons in
pre-revolutionary America.<u5:p></u5:p></span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

University of New South Wales, Australia. Her major publications include
Settler Sovereignty: Jurisdiction and Indigenous People in America and Australia,
1788-1836 (2010) which won the Littleton-Griswold Prize (American Historical
Association); the Thomas J. Wilson Prize (Harvard University Press); and the
Premiers History Award (NSW). She is also co-author of Rage for Order: The
British Empire and the Origins of International Law, 1800-1850 (co-authored
with Lauren Benton, 2016) and author of The King’s Peace, which will be
published by Harvard later this year. Ford is currently leading a collaborative
project funded by the Australian Research Council exploring the role of
commissions of inquiry sent throughout the British Empire in the 1820s on which
subject she hopes to lead author a book manuscript this year. She also holds a
four-year ARC Future Fellowship, during which she will explore the changing use
of martial law in the British Empire from the late eighteenth century until
1865.<u5:p></u5:p></span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Colonial Governance of the Family: Hijra and "Criminal Tribe" Households
in North India, c. 1865-1900'<u5:p></u5:p></span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Historians have primarily examined
colonial child removal projects in settler colonial contexts. Yet from 1865,
the colonial government in north India forcibly removed children from
criminalised communities. Child separation began in the households of gender
non-conforming people labelled ‘eunuchs,’ particularly Hijras, and eventually
extended to socially marginalised people designated as ‘criminal tribes,’
especially Sansiyas. First, what does a comparison of these child removal
schemes tell us about the colonial governance of the family? Patrilineal,
conjugal and reproductive household models marginalised Hijras and Sansiyas in
differing ways, while the category of ‘child’ was contingently defined. Child
separation was attempted to varying ends, including both elimination and
assimilation. Yet often, the colonial state could not sustain such intensified
forms of intimate governance in the face of resistance from households. Nor
could officials simply determine removed children’s futures. Second, what does
child removal suggest about the making of colonial law? When children were
initially removed from Hijra and Sansiya households, officials admitted that
‘the law may have been somewhat strained,’ since existing laws did not provide
police or magistrates with legal powers to separate these children. The Sansiya
child removal project, for instance, prompted debates about colonial legal
exceptions and the ‘legality’ of the colonial state’s practices among colonial officials
and Indian and European non-officials.<u5:p></u5:p></span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Location Halifax </div><div>About the opportunity: The Department of History at Dalhousie University invites applications from junior academics for an early-career tenure-stream position in nineteenth- or twentieth-century Canadian History at the Assistant Professor level, effective 1 July 2021. The position is open to historians of Canada with a focus on Law, Justice and Society. Furthermore, the committee is particularly but not exclusively interested in historians whose research addresses transnational issues and/or the carceral state.
Although prior teaching experience is not necessary, the successful candidate will be expected to teach two courses that qualify for the Law, Justice and Society program [HIST 3226, Law and Justice in Canadian Society to 1890, and HIST 3227, Criminal Law, Crime, and Punishment in Canada, 1890 to the Present], with the other courses to be determined in consultation between the candidate and the Department. The courses will include both seminars and lectures. The Department of History has both MA and PhD programmes in Canadian History. Therefore, some graduate teaching is expected. Applicants must have a PhD in hand by 1 July 2021 and demonstrate potential for excellence as a teacher and a scholar. The position is subject to budgetary approval.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. </div><div>Dalhousie University is committed to fostering a collegial culture grounded in diversity and inclusiveness. The university encourages applications from Indigenous persons, persons with a disability, racially visible persons, women, persons of a minority sexual orientation and/or gender identity, and all candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our community.

founder and long-time President of the Osgoode Society. It supports a graduate
or post-doctoral student working in the field of Canadian legal history.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

mostly from the interest on the endowment supplemented when necessary by our
own funds. This year we have a number of budgeted items that we cannot or will
not spend the money on – the Annual Meeting, Amanda Campbell’s trips to (now cancelled)
judges’ conferences, in person legal history talks (announcement about those
coming in a newsletter this week) and others. We decided, given the substantial
number of excellent applications, to award a $16,000 fellowship to our first
choice and two "honourable mentions" fellowships of $7,000 each.</span><br />

The Peter Oliver Prize is given for published
work in Canadian legal history by a student. The 2020 winner is Jacqueline
Briggs, a Ph.D. student in the Centre for Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies,
University of Toronto, for her article ‘Exemplary Punishment: T.R.L.
MacInnes, the Department of Indian Affairs, and Indigenous Executions,
1936-1952, published in the <i>Canadian Historical Review</i>. The article
is a fascinating account of a legal aid programme for capitally-charged
Indigenous defendants, the first publicly-funded legal aid programme in Canada.</span><br />
