The papers in this collection were presented at a conference held in Saskatoon, Canada, on 17-19 October 1996 under the auspices of the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan. There are many people and several institutions to thank for making that conference, and this collection of essays, possible. The organisation of the conference was one of the pleasurable duties I undertook in 1996 as the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan Visiting Professor at the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan. This Chair was established in 1989 under an agreement between the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan and the University of Saskatchewan, and supports the appointment of a Visiting Professor at the College.
