Abstract

The Manitoba Law Journal is committed to preserving the voices of distinguished jurists from this province. In that context, we are honoured to present this issue. It includes reflections on his retirement by the Honourable Chief Justice Richard Chartier. This is accompanied by remarks by Chief Justice of Canada, the Right Honourable Richard Wagner, as well as the Honourable Justice Freda Steel of the Manitoba Court of Appeal and the Honourable Margaret Wiebe of the Provincial Court of Manitoba. This issue also contains a comprehensive analysis of the jurisprudence of Chief Justice Chartier, by Melanie Bueckert and Michael Rice. The final contribution in the volume is a focused look at the judgments of the retiring Chief Justice in the area of civil procedure, by Gerard Kennedy.
