Description :
Patrick Boyer's portrait of James Chalmers McRuer (1890-
1985), one of Canada's most outstanding jurists, sets out to
discover the character of the man who played a key role in the
evolution of Canadian law. His career of more than fifty years
included service on the Archambault Royal Commission on
Penal Reform from 1936 to 1938. He was appointed judge on
the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1944, chief justice of the Ontario
High Court in 1945, and from 1964 to 1971 he was head of the
Royal Commission Inquiry into Civil Rights. From 1964 to 1977
he was chairman and later vice-chairman of the Ontario Law
Reform Commission. The commission, the first such body in
the British Commonwealth, was created largely through his
efforts. He was its moving spirit for more than a decade, and
his work on it was his most important legacy to future
generations.The driving spirit behind McRuer was his passion
for justice, rising from his conviction that the justice system
should serve the oppressed, regardless of their ability to pay.
As a law reformer, McRuer saw a pressing need to adapt the
law so that it could better serve all people in the changed
conditions of the twentieth century. He possessed a sharp
sensitivity to the often hidden injustices existing in an
advanced industrial society and a bureaucratic state. In his
pursuit of the impulses that fuelled McRuer's career, Boyer
reveals the anomalies within the man who was committed to
penal reform but was known as 'Hanging Jim' for his readiness
to send people to the gallows. A curious personal insensitivity
was combined with legendary kindness. Not many people
know that it was James Chalmers McRuer who `discovered'
the tenor Jon Vickers, and rescued him from a job at Kresge's
to send him to the Royal Conservatory of Music in
Toronto.McRuer in his judgments and in his public work,
articulated much that underlies the sense of Canadian law.
