Description

A Progression of Judges tells the story of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, focusing on its often colourful and sometimes controversial judges. At the same time it chronicles the metamorphosis of the two young colonies -- the Colony of Vancouver Island and the Colony of British Columbia -- from a rough frontier to a sophisticated province as it is reflected in the maturing of the judicial system and growth of the legal profession.

An eminently readable and useful book and one which you can say I will turn to again and again.
