New Edition of Anger & Honsberger's Law of Real Property

Anne La Forest (84) has published the 3rd edition of Anger & Honsberger's Law of Real Property.

Containing almost 40 chapters and comprising almost 2000 pages, this work was released in May of 2006. It took several years to complete and includes contributions from Professors Margaret McCallum and David Townsend, Distinguished Legal Scholar in Residence The Honourable Gerard V. La Forest (49), Marie La Forest (80), and Kathleen La Forest (85). Professor La Forest also spent much of this past year completing work as a co-editor of The Globalized Rule of Law: Relationships Between International and Domestic Law, to be published by Irwin Law in July 2006. From different angles and through a variety of lenses, the papers in this collection examine the relationships between international and domestic law and the treatment of international law by Canadian governments, parliamentarians, and the courts. The book aims to address the need for a clearer and broader understanding of how international law impacts on domestic law and policy, in order to be able to use law more effectively in international and domestic litigation, dispute settlement, policy development, and decision making. Professor Don Fleming (75) is also a co-editor of this work. Professor La Forest also contributed a paper on the use of evidence in the context of international and comparative law to this work and Professors Don Fleming (75) and John McEvoy (78) have contributed a chapter on the Domestic Implementation of International Human Rights Law to the text. Professor La Forest has now turned to writing the 4th edition of La Forest's Extradition to and from Canada and is in the process of developing a new course on Securities Law that will be taught at the Faculty in 2006-2007. She continues to act on the Board of the National Judicial Institute and the New Brunswick Securities Commission where she also acts as chair of the Human Resources Committee.
