Course Syllabus HI375OC Seeking Justice: the Family and Law in Canada, 1867-1969 Course Description Seeking Justice: the Family and Law in Canada, 1867-1969 is a twelve week, half credit course that addresses the relative equity of selected codified laws, legislated statutes and court decisions that influenced the quality of life offered Canadian families and their individual members during the first hundred years of Canadian nationhood. The course begins with the year of Confederation and the need to adapt colonial legal traditions to the constitutional division of powers defined in the British North American Act, the constitution of the new Dominion. It will address the reform movements and judicial decisions that led to changes in Canadian law and had implications for the dynamics of family life and the access to justice and political representation in Canada. The course will present three, chronological periods in which to offer a selective study of regional disparities in civil law and provincial statutes as well as key socioeconomic determinants of an individual’s access to justice in Canada. The implications of gender, marital status, race, ethnicity, class and age will be assessed within the contexts of judicial and legislated equity in civil and criminal matters. Students will analyse how and why the search for justice was not equally afforded all Canadian families over the hundred and two years. Students will develop their critical reading, writing and analytical skills through the course’s written assignments. The course requirements will foster communications skills, on-line technical abilities, and time management abilities through the reading requirements for the on-line tutorials, the interactive on-line components of the course, the completion of assignments by deadlines, and preparation for the final exam. Structure and Design: The course is divided into three periods determined by significant trends and changes in Canadian law that are relevant to an historical analysis of the search for justice for and by the most legally vulnerable members of Canadian families. It will begin with a study of the legislation relating to the legal status of the family and its component members at Confederation and through the early years of nationhood from 1867 to 1899. Part two will address consequential regulation and reform imperatives from 1900 to 1938 before the course concludes by assessing inequities in the search for justice from 1939 to 1969. Over these periods, the durability of colonial law and the legal traditions of the new nation-state will be evaluated. with an awareness of the variations in civil law from province to province and region to region. Over the twelve weeks of the course significant weekly themes will be introduced to study the implications of regionalism, gender, 1 race, ethnicity, class, and age in determining prevalent inequities within Canadian civil and criminal law. Within each theme, monographs, journal articles, actual legal cases and government statutes will be provided in hard copy and on-line formats for students to read and analyse for their written assignments, the on-line tutorial components of the course, and the final exam. Overall, this Distance Education course is designed around three written assignments, independent, self-directed study, of course content, weekly on –line tutorial discussions, and a final examination. A wide variety of readings has been provided that conforms to expectations for a 300 level history course and the in-class time and student course preparation time that would be required in a non DE format. The course is designed to have a graded, on-line interactive component whereby students can share their insights into the assigned readings and have questions answered. Their learning experience will be enriched through the weekly on-line tutorial requirements, video clips from the CBC archives, the use of relevant legal cases to illustrate themes, the on-line creation of a glossary of terms related to the course themes, written work, and the students’ access to a wide range of viewpoints related to the weekly topics.

Marking Scheme and Due Dates Tutorial Assignments/ Scheme and Weekly Participation Comparative Reading Assignment - 20% - 10% 2 Book Review Research Essay Final Exam - 20% - 25% - 25% On-line tutorial – 20% (10% for weekly participation, 10% for critiques/ posting questions when assigned by weekly schedule) On-line bulletin board tutorials will be co-ordinated on the course Bulletin Board via postings on the Web CT. The instructor will assign weekly content –related questions for discussions on-line and post terms related to the readings for the students to define in their tutorial discussions. However, each week the students should ponder the following broad questions while reading and preparing for the weekly tutorials. What family related issue or issues are discusses and analysed by the authors chosen for this week? What constitutes a family in these readings? What are the laws associated with the family in the weekly readings? Do they make changes or maintain the status quo in ‘family law’? What are the central assumptions held in common or disputed by the authors for the week? A glossary of the new terms for each week will be derived from the students’ input and posted on-line after the weekly tutorial by the instructor for study purposes. Students will be asked to respond to the instructor’s and fellow students’ input over a two day period. Groups of students will be assigned to assist with the on-line discussion each week on a rotational basis. They will be asked to post a one paragraph critique of the thesis of an article from the weekly readings and suggest how it fits into the weekly theme to foster a wider class discussion. They will also create and post a question based on another assigned reading for that week. The rest of the class will provided answers to the questions posted by fellow students and the instructor, suggest definitions for the terms for the week, and comment on the posted critiques to further discussion. The Bulletin Board discussions will provide an opportunity for any student pose a question and have any aspect of a reading clarified. Students are asked to encourage productive on-line discussions by agreeing or disagreeing with the comments already posted. Students are expected use the readings to support views or to provide a contrary opinion – more than a simple statement of agreement or disagreements required. This stipulation will assist in fostering more detailed and thoughtful tutorial sessions. Students are not required to read the additional ‘on-line research sources’ for the tutorials that are listed last each week. These on-line research sources are to be used for background information for the book reviews and research for the essay assignment. 3 All students will be presented with the option of engaging in tutorial discussion by responding to the instructor’s input, observing and addressing peer postings, and adding their own questions, observations and responses from midnight Monday to midnight Wednesday. Therefore, students have some flexibility in reserving a block of personal time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, day or night, to participate in tutorials to accommodate family and work schedules. Individual students will be assigned to briefly critique an assigned reading and post a question relevant to the weekly topic three times during the term on a rotational basis dictated by a student’s surname. For example, students with surnames starting with the letters A through F will be assigned specific readings for week one, H to M week two, N to S week three and week four will be covered by those with surnames starting with the alphabetical letters T through Z. The rotation schedule is outlined in the syllabus week to week. Critiques and questions prepared by students for posting in advance of the on-line tutorial should be completed and posted by 12 a.m. Tuesday on their assigned weeks. Overall, each student will post critiques and questions three (3) times over the twelve weeks for 10% of the overall grade. The instructor will monitor the postings and participate when advisable to keep the weekly discussions lively and focused on the weekly themes. A written record of the proceedings will be available to the instructor to establish weekly tutorial grades for each student. Non participation for the week will result in a zero grade for the week. Assignment One: Comparative Readings Assignment – 10% Due on the Thursday of Week Four Length – 3 pages ( @ 750words) of critical analysis with a clear introduction, body of analysis/discussion, and a conclusion plus a cover page (noting the course number, assigned title, instructor’s name, student’s name, and the student’s university identification number on the cover page), any endnotes and a bibliography. Students choosing to use footnotes rather than endnotes may submit a four page assignment to meet the word count requirement. Criteria: Students will analyse and assess how two (2) of the hard copy journal readings from one (1) of the units from Week Two to Week Four relate to the theme for the week chosen for study. For example, a student choosing readings from week two might compare how the article by Adele Perry and the one by Suzanne Morton provide insights into the question family dynamics and the law in nineteenth century Canada. Both articles 4 address the issue of race and its impact on family formation as well as the legal and social standing of married women. However, Morton’s study is set the urban centre of Halifax while Perry’s article addresses the frontier in British Columbia. The student would read the articles, analyse points of convergence and points of contrast, and then create and defend a thesis which addresses how the two articles provide insights into the theme of family dynamics and the law in nineteenth century Canada. The comparison of the two articles and the context of the theme for the week should point students toward a reasonable, defendable thesis and argument. Students may wish to comment on which article they perceive to be more informative or the better written of the two articles used in their assignments. Assignment Two: Book Review – 20% Length: 6-8 pages (1,500 – 2,000 words) of analysis with a discernable introduction, body of critical analysis/critical argument, and conclusion Due on the Thursday of Week Seven Criteria: Students will prepare a critical book review of either of two books: Backhouse and Backhouse, The Heiress vs the Establishment, Mrs. Campbell’s Campaign for Legal Justice or Ward’s White Canada Forever, Popular Attitudes and Public Policy Toward Orientals in British Columbia. Instructions for writing the book reviews will be available on course Web CT. Students are advised further that the Wilfrid Laurier Writing Centre provides on-line access to tips for written assignments. Assignments should be double spaced, in size twelve font, and should include proper footnotes. The review should be 6 to 8 pages in length (not including the cover page and the bibliography). Assignment Three: Research Essay – 25% 10-12 pages (2,500 – 3,000 words) Due the Thursday of Week Ten Criteria: Students will submit a research essay based on the course themes and using course materials. They are not required to use additional on-line journal articles via the library’s ‘JSTOR’ or ‘Scholars Portal’ data bases; however, enterprising students may choose to do so. The course texts, 5 reading package and on-line websites indicated in the readings packages are to form the foundation of the research for the research essay. As sources have been provided, a minimum of ten sources must be used to research the paper and cited in the bibliography. Footnotes should be used to reference sources in the body of the essay. Proper footnote and bibliographic formats will be presented on Web CT. Assignment Three should be double spaced, in size twelve font and 10-12 pages in length, excluding the cover and bibliography. Topics: Using course materials, prepare a research overview by analysing and discussing how the families of a visible racial minority, or, a specified type of family member, faired in the search for justice from 1867 – 1967. The choice of identifiable racial groups includes the First Nations as well as African Canadians, Chinese Canadians or Japanese Canadians. Or, students may choose married men, married women or minor children as the subject of their research study. The group chosen will serve as a means to assist students in using the assignment to review the course themes and in identifying the factors impeding or assisting in the search for justice. If a student wishes to modify the topic to profile another group studied in the course, the student must get written/ on-line approval from the instructor by the eighth week of class. Final Examination – 25% of grade The final examination will be based on the readings assigned each week for the on-line tutorials. Study questions to assist students in their review of course materials will be posted by the instructor in Week Eleven. Note: The final examination will be held during the formal examination schedule after twelfth week of the course. The schedule is set by the University administration NOT by the instructor. The exact day and time of the final will not be known until after the course is in session. Students will be informed of the day and time of the final on-line when the information becomes available. Students should not book vacations or travel at a time in conflict with the exam slot assigned to the course. This applies to students who will write the final on the main campus as well as those taking the exam at remote sites. Schedule of Weekly Readings and Due Dates Part One: Legislating the Family, 1867-1900 The course is divided into three time periods determined by the key trends and the changes in Canadian law that are relevant to an historical analysis of the search for justice by Canadian families beginning with the constitutional creation of Canada in 1867. In addition to the inescapable theme of regionalism, the interplay of gender, race, ethnicity, class and age 6 in the defining the access to equity under the law, both civil and criminal, will be explored in all three periods. The course will gauge the search for justice in Canada by using the family as a barometer to assess the equity of selected aspects of the law. Codes of criminal and civil law, legislated statutory regulation, in addition to agents of the law such as the police and the courts will all be considered under the umbrella of the term ‘law’. The term ‘family’ will be defined as persons related by blood ties or through adoption, marriage or cultural tradition. Non family members such as boarders, apprentices and servants may reside with them in a household or they may live alone. The twelve themes chosen for the course will help to delineate the quality of justice afforded families based on their socio-economic characteristics.

Part Two: Regulation and Reform, 1900 - 1938 Part Two of the course will commence at the turn of the twentieth century and end on the eve of World War II in 1938. At the onset of the new century, some of the reform impulses of the late nineteenth century gain greater popularity and new trends emerge. Prior to World War I, middle-class reformers in Canada became preoccupied by the perceived need for laws and regulations formalizing the values, beliefs, and fears of the country’s White, Protestant majority. Driven by the desire to save the family and Canada’s youth from corrupting influences, social crusaders had an increasingly messianic tone. This period denotes an increase in the State’s intrusion into family life via new public health, legal and social welfare reform legislation. Part Two will end with the onset of World War II in 1939. Week Five - The Family in Crisis Surnames A-C – post a critique of Heron’s “Boys and Booze” and a question re Snell’s “Marital Cruelty”.

The Family and Law in Canada, 19391969 Part Three of the course will cover the time period 1939 – 1969 and thereby complete the study of the family and the search for justice under the laws of Canada over roughly a hundred years of nationhood. The final section will illustrate that, despite the adoption of so-called reform legislation since 1867, many of the impediments to equal justice for many Canadian families and their component members persisted a century later. Evidence of regional, gender specific, racial, ethnic, class defined and age-based disparities remained in 1967. Overall, the traditional conservatism of Canadian courts, including the Supreme Court, endured to until the late 1960s when signs of significant federal legislative changes began to emerge. In 1967 signs of a liberalization of law related to the family became apparent. In that year, the momentum for a federal Divorce Act foreshadowed the post-1967 crusades for statutory and legal reform to promote the equal justice and human rights in Canada. The 1968 Divorce Act was followed by the relaxing of the criminal prosecution against abortion and homosexual behaviour under the provisions of the 1969 Omnibus Bill reforming the Canadian Criminal Code. By 1969, when this course ends, the passage of the reform of legislation heralded a new activism in the appeals courts asked to hear cases related to these issues.
