In September, 2012, the Centre for Constitutional Studies and the Faculty of Law, University of Alberta, in collaboration with the Legal Education Society of Alberta, hosted a day-long Constitutional Symposium for legal practitioners and students of law. Legal academics and practitioners provided stimulating and thought provoking updates on recent jurisprudence in the constitutional area, focussing on Charter sections 2, 7 and 15, the division of powers, aboriginal rights and the Charter and criminal law. Of the twelve papers presented at this Symposium, eight are featured in this Special Issue of the Constitutional Forum.

Vast Range

As the contributions to this two-part special issue demonstrate, Spanish and Latin American criminal theory has attained a remarkable degree of sophistication. Regrettably, Anglo-American scholars have had limited access to this rich body of literature. With this volume, the New Criminal Law Review has taken a very important first step toward rectifying this situation. Although the articles written for this special issue cover a vast range of subjects, they can be divided into four main categories: (1) the legitimacy of the criminal sanction, (2) the punishability of omissions, (3) the challenges that international criminal law and the fight against terrorism pose to criminal theory, and (4) the theory of justification and excuse. The articles pertaining to the first two categories will appear in the first half of this special issue (Volume 11, Number 3) and the pieces belonging to the third and fourth categories will be published in the upcoming second half (Volume 11, Number 4). In accordance with this general structure, in the pages that follow I will provide a brief summary and critique of the pieces contained in both parts.

The 1960S

This chapter describes the process, over an interval between the years after World War I and the 1960s, in which most of the fields considered “basic” common-law subjects in legal education and the legal profession were dramatically affected by statutory developments that sought to modify common-law rules and doctrines in the fields. By the 1960s the “statutorification” of torts, contracts, commercial law, and criminal law was partially in place, and new rules for federal civil procedure had been promulgated.

Citizenship Identity

Every society faces a dilemma of instilling a shared vision of citizenship, on the one hand, and accommodating specific identities, on the other. This Special Issue addresses the problems of citizenship and democratic education in pluralistic societies that face a challenge of accommodating diversity and maintaining social cohesion. This volume is the result of comprehensive joint efforts of scholars from different countries and regions, who are at various stages of their careers, all working in the field of citizenship studies in education. The papers featured in this collection were presented at the symposium Citizenship, Identity, and Education at the 2018 Comparative and International Education Society conference in Mexico City. We hope that the publication of this Special Issue will contribute to the dialogue about the interplay of citizenship and identity and the role of citizenship and democratic education in identity construction, negotiation, and development.

This Special Issue of Law in Context is comprised of articles developed at the 2015 Criminal Law Workshop, co-hosted by the La Trobe University and Melbourne University Law Schools. This annual workshop brings together criminal law academics from across Australia and New Zealand, and results in a day of intense, diverse, and fascinating discussion about contemporary criminal law issues. This collection of articles is accordingly wide-ranging. From the creation of new offences dealing with contemporaneous political panics (such as one-punch homicides and the spectre of out-of-control teenagers using social media to gatecrash suburban parties) and new processes such as paperless arrest warrants, to the re-purposing of old crimes (consorting, conspiracy) and processes (such as bail) in the service of new targets of social/political concern (bikies, domestic violence perpetrators), the articles in this Special Issue interrogate the boundaries of the criminal law and the extent to which it can or should legitimately be used as a tool to police the margins of society.

The Effect of Alcohol on the Canadian Constitution ... Seriously

Alcohol has exerted a staggering influence on the Canadian constitution. It was a prominent feature of daily life in the young Dominion, much to both the delight and chagrin of many. The temperance movement exerted its own influence on both the federal and provincial legislatures. Without “alcohol” as a head of power, the legislatures claimed control over this seeming, social evil sometimes under “Peace, Order and Good Government”, “criminal law”, or “Trade and Commerce”; at other times under “Property and Civil Rights”, “Local Matters”, and so forth. Court challenges abounded; the result was, in part, the judiciary’s failure to walk a straight line toward a clear division of powers between the federal and provincial governments. But the result was also many of the doctrines of division of powers that still form part of Canadian constitutional law. Beyond its impact on the division of powers, alcohol was also at the root of Canada’s most important decision on the rule of law: Roncarelli—a decision argued and won by the late F. R. Scott.

European Criminal Law

The present volume, being a consequence to the ELPIS network members' variety, follows the tradition of its predecessors in dealing with various questions of European law (including more specific questions of European legal education) whereby questions of the Union's Economic Law, more specifically in the context of the topics of insolvency law, autonomous driving, ship dismantling and certain effects of European criminal law are analysed. It also deals with issues of human rights due to differing views on society, which are in particular characterized by realism; the latter can also be found (and heard) in "legalistic" works by a contemporary of Stahl, Johann Strauss' Father (1804-1849) and his descendants. With contributions by Prof. Dr. Caroula Argyriadis-Kervegan, Prof. Dr. Christian Becker, Robert Brockhaus, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c.mult. Hilmar Fenge, Prof. Dr. Claas Friedrich Germelmann, Ludmilla Graz, Lena Gumnior, Prof. Dr. Bernd Oppermann, Dr. Dimitrios Parashu, Prof. Dr. Vasco Pereira da Silva and Prof. Dr. Armelle Renaut Couteau.
