By the time he retired as chief justice in 1990, the Court had become a major national institution, very much in the public eye. The Court's decisions, particularly those concerned with reforming large areas of private and public law under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, were the subject of intense public interest and concern." "Brian Dickson played a leading role in this transformation. In this biography, Robert Sharpe and Kent Roach trace Dickson's life from a Depression-era boyhood in Saskatchewan, to the battlefields of Normandy, the boardrooms of corporate Canada, and high judicial office during a critical period in the history of the Supreme Court. Dickson played an important part in the evolution of the Canadian judiciary and of Canada itself. Engaging and incisive, Brian Dickson: A Judge's Journey presents a compelling study of one of Canada's greatest legal figures while offering new insights into the work of Canada's highest court."--Jacket.
