Abstract

This article was written in 1980 to commemorate Alberta's 75th year as a Province of Canada. The legal issues which arose during the past 75 years, both in criminal law and in civil litigation, reflect the social, economic and political development of the Province. The author provides an historical retrospective of those issues, drawing details from personal experience gained throughout his legal career in Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
