This ACDS/CLSA Bulletin comes to you on
the eve of the beginning of the ACDS/CLSA
Annual Meetings in Winnipeg. This issue
contains the final program schedule of the
meetings as well as the report of local social
events and venues for those attending the
meetings. We would like to emphasize how
grateful the ACDS/CLSA is to Elizabeth
Comack and Debra Parkes for taking on the
responsibility of organizing the meetings in
Winnipeg. As is evident in this Bulletin, they
have done a tremendous job reviewing
submissions and organizing the papers into a
wonderfully
coherent
and
engaging
conference.
In addition to reports from the ACDS/CLSA
President Richard Moon and the journal editor
Ruth Murbach, this issue of the Bulletin also
contains a report by Wes Pue, chair of the
Futures Committee, on the 2005 annual
meeting scheduled to be held in Harrison Hot
Springs, British Columbia. Wes has shown
great foresight in organizing next year’s
conference so early and has successfully laid
the foundation for another successful
international conference.
Once again, we thank Dominique Nanoff for
her translation services.

Ce numéro du Bulletin de l’ACDS / CLSA
vous est envoyé à la veille de la Conférence
2004 de l’Association canadienne droit et
société à Winnipeg. Il présente le programme
de la Conférence ainsi qu’une liste d’activités
et d’événements susceptibles d’intéresser les
participants. Nous tenons à souligner la
reconnaissance de tous les membres de
l’ACDS à Elizabeth Comack et à Debra Parkes
qui se sont chargées d’organiser les rencontres
de Winnipeg. Comme cela transparaît à travers
le Bulletin, elles ont accompli un travail
remarquable afin d’examiner les propositions
de communications et préparer un programme
homogène et particulièrement attrayant.
Vous trouverez dans ce Bulletin, en plus du
rapport de M. Richard Moon, président de
l’ACDS, et de celui de Mme Ruth Murbach,
rédactrice en chef, un article de M. Wes Pue,
président du Comité des initiatives futures, au
sujet de l’assemblée annuelle de 2005 qui se
déroulera aux Harrison Hot Springs, en
Colombie-Britannique. Wes a montré une
grande prévoyance en organisant dès à présent
la conférence de l’an prochain et il a déjà
réussi à poser les jalons de ce qui s’annonce
comme une conférence internationale très
prometteuse.
Une fois encore, nous remercions Mme
Dominique Nanoff pour ses services de
traduction.

LETTER
FROM
PRESIDENT
THE
Thanks to the hard work of others the job of
the CLSA President is relatively easy and
uncomplicated.
My thanks again to Connie Backhouse, Diana
Majury and Pierre Noreau for organizing the
very successful Mid-Winter meeting in
Montreal.
Debra Parkes and Elizabeth Comack have
worked very hard to put together an impressive
program for our Annual Meeting at the
Congress in Winnipeg June 2-4. I look
forward to seeing many of you there.
Wes Pue and Bob Menzies have already begun
organizing our conference for next year. The
conference, which is sponsored by the CLSA
and several Australian law and society
associations and departments, will take place at
Harrison Hot Springs near Vancouver, June
25-30, 2005. The conference, and its theme
‘Law’s Empire’, will provide an opportunity to
honour the many contributions of John
McLaren to socio-legal studies, legal history,
and colonial legal studies.
I want also to thank Ruth Murbach for her
continuing service as editor of the outstanding
Canadian Journal of Law and Society and, of
course, Lesley Jacobs and Richard Weisman
for their remarkable efficiency in putting
together the CLSA Bulletin, which keeps us
informed about CLSA and other events of
interest.
Finally I want to take the opportunity to note
the retirement of Fred Zemans of Osgoode
Hall Law School. Fred has been an invaluable
contributor to the law and society movement in
Canada and a great supporter of the CLSA,
even serving as president of the association
only a few short years ago.

RAPPORT DU PRÉSIDENT
Grâce au travail acharné de ceux qui
l’entourent, le président de l’ACDS a la tâche
relativement simple et facile.
Mes remerciements une fois encore à Connie
Backhouse, Diana Majury et Pierre Noreau
pour l’organisation de notre rencontre de la mihiver à Montréal qui a été particulièrement
réussie.
Debra Parkes et Elizabeth Comack ont
travaillé avec acharnement à l’élaboration d’un
programme très attrayant en vue de notre
Conférence annuelle qui aura lieu à Winnipeg
du 2 au 4 juin prochains. Je suis impatient d’y
retrouver nombre d’entre vous à cette
occasion.
Wes Pue et Bob Menzies ont déjà commencé à
organiser la conférence de l’an prochain.
Cette conférence, qui est parrainée par l’ACDS
et plusieurs associations et facultés
australiennes de droit et société, se tiendra du
25 au 30 juin 2005, aux Harrison Hot Springs
près de Vancouver. Organisée sur le thème «
L’empire du droit », elle sera l’occasion de
rendre
hommage
aux
nombreuses
contributions de John McLaren aux études de
droit et société, à l’histoire du droit et aux
études de droit colonial.
Je voudrais également remercier Ruth
Murbach de son travail continu à titre de
rédactrice en chef de notre excellente Revue
canadienne de droit et société, ainsi que, bien
entendu, Lesley Jacobs et Richard Weisman
pour leur remarquable efficacité à préparer
notre Bulletin, qui nous tient informés des
activités de l’ACDS et d’événements
susceptibles de nous intéresser.
Pour terminer, j’aimerais profiter de l’occasion
pour mentionner le départ en retraite de Fred
Zemans de la faculté de droit Osgoode Hall.
Fred a apporté une contribution très précieuse
au mouvement du droit et société au Canada et
il s’est montré un fervent adepte de l’ACDS,
qu’il a même servie il n’y a pas si longtemps
en qualité de président.

CALL FOR PAPERS / INVITATION TO
PROPOSE AND GUEST EDIT A SPECIAL
ISSUE
The Journal accepts to review and publish a
variety of papers under the condition that they
belong to the vast field of Law and Society.
Articles submitted undergo an external
evaluation procedure, as described in the
Journal and on its website (utpjournals.com).
We maintain the Journal’s tradition to publish
on a regular basis special thematic issues, guest
edited by mandated specialists whose
proposals have been accepted by the Editorial
Board. We actually are preparing thematic
issues on Ethnic and Racial Profiling (guest
editor : Lesley A. Jacobs) and on CrossCultural Jurisprudence : Culture in the Domain
of Law (guest editor : David Howes). A further
thematic issue is still open for contributions.
Here is a short description :
Norms, Excuses end Exceptions
Do war crimes tribunals in ex-Yugoslavia and
Rwanda, that last country’s use of traditional
gacaca
courts,
humanitarian
military
interventions, calls for a right to intervene,
courts that claim universal competence, the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South
Africa, the amnesty laws in Argentina and the
fact that they were later repealed, the excuses
offered by the American government to citizens
of Japanese extraction who were imprisoned in
camps during the second world war, those
offered in Canada or Australia for past
treatment of First Nations or of Aborigines
have anything in common? At first sight not
very much. This issue’s goal is to enquire
about these and similar innovations inasmuch
as they do not only address current problem
but also indicate a transformation of the way
in which we think of and institutionalise the
relation between justice and political power
both at the national and international levels.
Please send abstracts of possible contributions
to the guest editor, Paul Dumouchel
(dumouchp@gr.ritsumei.ac.jp) The editor also
invites you to submit proposals for other
special issues (for details, please contact:
murbach.ruth@uqam.ca
).
APPEL À NOUS SOUMETTRE DES
ARTICLES / INVITATION À PROPOSER
ET
COORDONNER
UN
NUMÉRO
THÉMATIQUE
La Revue accepte de considérer pour
publication une variété d’articles pourvu qu’ils
relèvent du champs vaste de Droit et Société.
Les textes reçus sont soumis à l’évaluation
externe, comme décrite dans la Revue et sur
son site (utpjournals.com). Elle poursuit par
ailleurs la tradition de publier régulièrement
des
numéros
à
thème
dont
la
coordination est confiée à des spécialistes,
après proposition d’un synopsis au Comité de
rédaction qui en décide. Sont en préparation,
actuellement, deux numéros sur le Profilage
ethnique et racial (coordinateur Lesley A.
Jacobs) et sur la Jurisprudence transculturelle :
la culture dans le domaine du droit
(coordinateur David Howes). Un autre numéro
thématique est toujours ouvert à vos
contributions. Il s’agit de :
Exceptions, excuses et normes
Qu’ont en commun le tribunal pénal
international en ex-Yougoslavie ou au
Rwanda, le recours par ce dernier pays aux
tribunaux traditionnels dits gacaca, les
interventions militaires humanitaires, l’appel
au droit d’ingérence, les juridictions qui
réclament
compétence
universelle,
la
commission de Vérité et Réconciliation en
Afrique du Sud, les lois d’amnistie en
Argentine puis leur répudiation, les excuses
offertes par le gouvernement américain aux
citoyens d’origine japonaise enfermés durant
la seconde guerre, celles offertes au Canada
ou en Australie pour les traitements infligés
aux Premières Nations ou aux Aborigènes? A
première vue pas grand chose. Ce numéro se
propose de s’interroger sur ces nouveautés,
une à la fois ou plusieurs simultanément, en
tant qu’elles ne font pas que résoudre des
problèmes ponctuels, mais suggèrent de plus
une transformation de nos façons de penser et
d’institutionnaliser les rapports entre la justice
et le pouvoir tant au niveau national
qu’international.
Veuillez envoyer des résumés de vos
contributions souhaitées au coordinateur de ce
numéro,
Paul
Dumouchel
(dumouchp@gr.ritsumei.ac.jp). La rédaction
vous invite par ailleurs à soumettre des
propositions
pour
d’autres
numéros
thématiques
(contactez
s.v.p.
murbach.ruth@uqam.ca).
Local Committee Report for
the 2004 CLSA meetings in
Winnipeg
With three full days of sessions (along with
some joint sessions with the CSAA that extend
into the Saturday and Sunday), the CLSA
program looks very promising this year. The
annual CLSA banquet will be held on the
evening of Thursday, June 3rd at the Bridgeport
Restaurant, which is located on the top floor of
the Winnipeg Art Gallery. In addition to good
food, we have access to a roof top courtyard
and a great view of the Manitoba Legislative
Building down the street. Tickets are still
available, and can be purchased at the CLSA
desk in Robson Hall ($40 per person).
Delegates may also be interested in the
BULLETIN #37page 4
Spring/Printemps 2004
Socialist Studies party on Friday evening, June
4th at the Richmond Kings Community Centre
(near the U of M). The event will be a
traditional Winnipeg social, and held in honour
of Jessie and Alice Vorst, longtime Socialist
Studies organizers. The Sociology Big Bash
will be held on campus on the evening of
Saturday, June 5th.
For those who have not yet booked
accommodation, the Congress website includes
a list of Winnipeg hotels. Delegates may select
to stay closer to the university at one of the
hotels on Pembina Highway (such as the
Canad Inns, Holiday Inn or Quality Inn) or at
one of the hotels in the downtown area. The
Congress will be running a morning shuttle bus
service from various hotels.

Rapport du comité
d’organisation locale de la
Conférence 2004 de l’ACDS
à Winnipeg
Le programme de la Conférence de l’ACDS
s’annonce très prometteur avec ses trois
journées complètes de séances (auxquelles
s’ajoutent des sessions conjointes du Congrès
de la SCSA qui se prolongent jusqu’aux
samedi et dimanche). Le jeudi 3 juin, en soirée,
aura lieu le banquet annuel de l’ACDS, qui se
tiendra au Bridgeport Restaurant, situé au
dernier étage de la Winnipeg Art Gallery. La
nourriture promet d’être excellente et nous
pourrons bénéficier de l’accès à la terrasse qui
surplombe la galerie ainsi que de la vue
magnifique sur le Palais législatif du Manitoba
situé un peu plus loin. Si vous souhaitez vous
procurer des billets, vous pouvez encore en
acheter au bureau de l’ACDS car il reste des
places (40 $ par personne). Les délégués
voudront peut-être aussi se joindre à la soirée
des Études socialistes le vendredi 4 juin au
soir, au Richmond Kings Community Centre
(près de l’Université du Manitoba). Cette
soirée, qui se déroulera selon la tradition
chaleureuse propre à Winnipeg, est organisée
en l’honneur de Jessie et Alice Vorst,
organisateurs de longues dates d’études
socialistes. La fête de sociologie aura lieu sur
le campus le samedi soir, 5 juin.
Pour ceux qui n’ont pas encore réservé une
chambre, le site du Congrès offre une liste
d’hôtels disponibles à Winnipeg. Les délégués
auront sans doute avantage à choisir un des
hôtels de la Pembina Highway, située non loin
de l’université (comme le Canad Inns, le
Holiday Inn ou le Quality Inn) ou dans un
hôtel du centre ville. Les organisateurs du
Congrès ont prévu une navette qui passera
prendre les délégués à leur hôtel le matin.

Law’s Empire

A critically engaged social-legal conference

Theme: Critically engaged socio-legal
scholars around the world are increasingly
taking on the challenge of understanding
“Law’s Empire” both in relation to the
contemporary wave of globalization and in
tracing out the socio-legal history and
historical carry-forwards from the last age of
Empire, which terminated with post World
War II decolonization. This conference theme
will form the focus for the 2005 Canadian Law
and Society Association conference. Though
particular emphasis is placed on comparative
literatures being developed in relation to sociolegal issues in Canada and the Antipodes, other
law and Society scholarship is also welcomed.
This conference provides an opportunity to
honour the remarkable career contributions of
Dr. John McLaren to socio-legal scholarship,
legal history, and colonial legal studies.
