Legal Dimensions
The Legal Dimensions Series stems from an annual legal and socio-legal research initiative sponsored by the Canadian Association of Law Teachers, the Canadian Law and Society Association, the Canadian Council of Law Deans, and the Law Commission of Canada.

It seeks to advance our knowledge about law and society through the analysis of fundamental aspects of laws.
