Document Summary
In general, the social sciences developed somewhat later in canada than in the united. Mostly this article gives insight on the law and society course as well as its history. 1960s, most law teaching was undertaken by parttime practitioner-lecturers,9 and focused largely on the analysis of legal texts, rather than on law"s causes and consequences. a lawyer trained as a criminologist (1967) and of a non-legally-trained social scientist (1969). When we add book publications to our survey of socio-legal research in canada, the picture becomes even richer. The osgoode society for canadian legal history has published an average of four monographs per year since 1994, including some award-winning books that have shaped the field of law and society. Whether one takes an optimistic or a pessimistic view of progress to date, it would be unwise to assume that socio-legal scholarship will follow the same trajectory in the next ten or twenty years.
