The thirteen essays include an account of the first meeting in 1754 of the court in Michaelmas Term, surveys of jurisprudence (the court's early federalism cases; its use of American law; attitudes to the administrative state), and chapters on the courts of Westminster Hall, on which the Supreme Court was modelled, and the various courthouses it has occupied. Anchoring the volume are two longer chapters, one on the pre-confederation period and one on the modern period.Editors Philip Girard, Jim Phillips, and Barry Cahill have put together the first complete history of any Canadian provincial superior court. All of the essays are original, and many offer new interpretations of familiar themes in Canadian legal history. They take the reader through the establishment of the one-judge court to the present day ? a unique contribution to our understanding of superior courts. 606 $aLAW / Courts$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLAW / Courts. 676 $a349.716 702 $aGirard$b Philip 702 $aPhillips$b Jim$f1954- 702 $aCahill$b Barry 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459722003321 996 $aThe Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, 1754-2004$92219667 997 $aUNINA
