Law WWW.UBCPRESS.CA/LAW Announcing New Series PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS OF DEPENDENCE AND INTERDEPENDENCE IN LAW Legal Dimensions Series UBC Press, in association with the Law Commission of Canada, is pleased to announce a new series in legal dimensions. Law Commission of Canada Personal Relationships of Dependence and Interdependence in the Law Law Commission of Canada At their simplest level, human relationships are about ties between people. These ties, however, are anything but simple; rather, they are complex interdependencies whose dynamic reciprocity of obligations and interests is not always represented in our legal thinking. This collection explores the intersection of interdependency and the law, and contemplates some of the key issues at stake in the way the law interprets and addresses human relationships. Part of a series that questions fundamental concepts of law, this book looks critically at the legal concepts that have framed these relationships: contract, fiduciary duty, the “duty to act fairly,” the impartiality of decision makers, and privileged communication. Many of these obscure the element of interdependency. The authors argue that interdependency is a fruitful critical – and human – framework by which to re-evaluate some of our traditional legal concepts. The book will be of interest to law and society scholars and students, as it presents a different critical framework through which to analyze traditional human relationships. A subtle, shaded approach to law and subjectivity. It facilitates an analysis capable of recognizing the client as not only an active party but also, often, a more equal party in legal relations than generally supposed in the various literatures. – Anne McGillivray, Faculty of Law, University of Victoria The Law Commission of Canada is an independent federal law reform agency that advises Parliament on how to improve and modernize Canada’s laws.

REGULATING LIVES Historical Essays on the State, Society, the Individual, and the Law Gender in the Legal Profession Fitting or Breaking the Mould Joan Brockman In this thoughtful analysis of the causes and implications of the gendered structure of the legal profession in Canada and elsewhere, Brockman concludes that, until there is significant change in how women are perceived in relation to domestic duties, it is unlikely that they will attain equality within the legal profession. Joan Brockman teaches in the School of Criminology, Simon Fraser University.

Incest in the criminal courts, racial-ethnic dimensions of alcohol regulation, public health initiatives around venereal disease, and the seizure and indoctrination of Doukhobor children, among other issues, are examined in these nine original essays. This collection will interest scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students of a wide range of contexts including law, history, sociology, criminology, women’s studies, Native studies, social work, and political science.
