In <i>Bora Laskin</i>, Girard chronicles the life of a man |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
who, at all points of his life, was a fighter for a better Canada: he fought antisemitism, corporate capital, omnipotent university boards, the Law Society of Upper Canada, and his own judicial colleagues in an effort to modernize institutions and re-shape Canadian law. |
