McGILL'S FACULTY OF LAW: MAKING HISTORY - Publications ...

CLASS OF ’57 The Class of ’57 came out in strength to celebrate its
50th anniversary over dinner at the Atwater Club and cocktails at the
home of Trevor Bishop, BA’54, BCL’57. Several grads in attendance had
not seen each other for many years, and some travelled considerable
distances to celebrate. Among them were former teacher James Hugessen,
BCL’57, and Faculty benefactor Nahum Gelber, BA’54, BCL’57. Trevor
Bishop deserves special thanks for organizing this memorable event.
CLASS OF ’58 The Class of ’58 met at the Faculty on May 30, 2008 to
mark their 50th anniversary. The day-long festivities included a viewing
of the biography of F.R. Scott in the Moot Court, and provided an opportunity
to reminisce about law school years, remember classmates and pay
homage to remarkable professors such as F.R. Scott and the Hon. Gerald
E. Le Dain. The event was organized by Justice Joseph Nuss, BA’55, BCL’58.
POP & POLICY – MUSIC FAST-FORWARD
O C T O B E R 3 - 6 , 2 0 0 7
As part of the 2007 Pop Montreal International Music Festival, and in collaboration with
the Schulich School of Music and the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy (CIPP), the
Pop & Policy conference brought together musicians, fans, media, policy-makers, lawyers,
industry reps and technology gurus to debate the challenges facing the music industry and
music policy now and in the future. Panellists from across Canada and the U.S. met for four
days of groundbreaking discussions about music copyright, distribution models, music
formats and how Canada is poised to lead the way on many of these issues. You can listen to
some of the presentations on the CIPP website at http://cipp.mcgill.ca/en/events/presentations.
TABLE RONDE SUR L’ENSEIGNEMENT DU DROIT
2 7 - 2 8 S E P T E M B R E 2 0 0 7
Plusieurs facultés de droit en Amérique du Nord et en Europe s’interrogent sur la
nécessité de réinventer l’enseignement du droit. Au cœur de cette réflexion s’exprime
le sentiment que la notion même du droit est transformée par le phénomène de
la globalisation de la vie politique et des relations sociales et économiques. Des
programmes tendant à la formation mixte en droit civil et en common law émergent
un peu partout et de plus en plus de juristes s’intéressent à l’idée que l’enseignement
du droit doit s’envisager de manière comparative et intégrée. Articulée autour du
thème « Les assises d’une formation juridique cosmopolite », la table ronde fut une
occasion pour les participants, venus de nombre d’universités, de poser un regard
critique sur la formation juridique à la lumière de cette internationalisation.
