Margaret E. McCallum
(Ph.D., M.A., B.A., LL.B., University of Toronto) joined the Faculty of Law in 1990, and was promoted to the rank of Professor in 1999. She teaches courses on various aspects of property law, natural resources law, and social justice. Her research and teaching interests overlap, with particular attention to regulation of property rights and land use on PEI, historically and today.
Some of this research appears in Lady Landlords of Prince Edward Island: Imperial Dreams and the Defence of Property (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2008), written with Rusty Bittermann of the History Department, St. Thomas University, Fredericton. Her latest article on PEI history, “Morgan and Jacobson v. Attorney General for Prince Edward Island” is one of the chapters in Eric Tucker and Bruce Ziff, eds., Property on Trial (Toronto: Irwin Law for the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History, 2012).
Other publications include Synthesis: Legal Reading, Reasoning and Writing in Canada, now in its third edition (Toronto: CCH Canadian Limited, 2012) originally written by Deborah Schmedemann and Christina L. Kunz of the William Mitchell College of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, and Introduction to Real Property, now in its sixth edition (Toronto, LexisNexis, 2012), originally written by the late Alan Sinclair.
Dr. McCallum is one of the contributors, with Jeremy DeBeer, and Doug Harris, to the second and third editions of Bruce Ziff's A Property Law Reader: Cases, Questions and Commentaries (Toronto: Carswell, 2008, 2012).
