Dear Colleagues:

Congratulations go out to Ernest Weinrib, Angela Swan and Jakub Admanski on the publication of two new books that will be of great interest to ODGers. 

In Corrective Justice, Professor Weinrib "takes up and develops his account of corrective justice, its nature, and its role in understanding the law. He begins by setting out the conceptual components of corrective justice, drawing a model of a moral relationship between two equals and the rights and duties that exist between them. He then explains the significance of corrective justice for various legal contexts: for the grounds of liability in negligence, contract, and unjust enrichment; for the relationship between right and remedy; for legal education; for the comparative understanding of private law; and for the compatibility of corrective justice with state support for the poor." http://www.oupcanada.com/catalog/9780199660643.html. As an aside, the book contains a re-worked version of one of my all time favourite essays, "Can Law Survive Legal Education?" , which I highly recommend to anyone who has ever asked themselves what should a law school be doing.

In Canadian Contract Law, 3rd ed, Swan and Admanski, the authors provide new analyses of good faith, damages, fundamental breach and the task of interpreting contracts and implying terms.  As the back cover notes: "Underpinning the new edition, as with the previous ones, is a focus on how individual cases illustrate and illuminate the attitude that a court is likely to take to the dispute before it."  "The analysis of the cases and principles has been developed to assist the solicitor as much as the barrister". http://www.lexisnexis.com/store/ca/catalog/booktemplate/productdetail.jsp?pageName=relatedProducts&catId=cacat_47_en&prodId=prd-cad-00725&changeLocale=en_CA.

Happy Reading,
