Description
Some twenty years ago, I learned that William Kaplan was embarking on the task of writing a biography of Mr. Justice Rand, (1) one of the most accomplished judges ever to sit on the Supreme Court of Canada, and certainly far and away the strongest in his time. I was delighted to hear this, for at one stage I had come to know Justice Rand fairly well and I shall accordingly begin this review by briefly describing the context in which I got to know him. I first met Justice Rand in 1959 when I was a professor at the U. N. B. Law School. It was a propitious time for the Faculty. We had just moved from Saint John, where the school had been since its inception in the nineteenth century, into Somerville House in Fredericton: Lord Beaverbrook's former home in New Brunswick, which he had donated to the University following its decision to move the school. At the same time two additional professors were named, and the Faculty was looking forward to transforming itself from just another trade school into a modern university law faculty, or as "Caesar" Wright was wont to put it, "an honest to God law school".
