Recent issues of the Canadian Jounal of Law and Society.
Here
are the table of contents for two recent issues of the Canadian Journal
of Law and Society. The first issue focuses on issues of access to
government information. "Accessing data and information from government
sources has become increasingly difficult for many sociolegal and
criminological researchers in many parts of the world. An important
special collection of articles examines both the
challenges facing researchers and some of the strategies, such as
freedom-of-information requests, that are being explored to surmount
these challenges."

The second issue discusses Truth and Reconciliation Commissions.
"Since the world-renowned South African 'Truth and Reconciliation
Commission', many countries have used special commissions to deal with
the fallout of civil conflicts and collective injustices. Canada has set
up a 'Truth and Reconciliation Commission' for aboriginal Canadians who
were forced into residential schools in the recent past. But unlike the
South Africa model, this commission is part of the settlement of a
collective lawsuit. A set of papers critically examines some features of
this process and draws comparisons to other commissions in Canada and
in other countries. The articles are complemented by a reflective
comment on the loss and recovery of one's native tongue by an aboriginal
artist."
