Forthcoming in the Summer 2014 issue of the University of Toronto Law Journal...
The Residential School Litigation and Settlement
Guest Editors: Mayo Moran and Kent Roach
This is the first symposium issue to take an in-depth look at Canada's Aboriginal Residential School litigation which was the largest class action in Canadian history and the innovative agreement that settled it. The volume provides insider and comparative perspectives on the settlement agreement as well as outlining the historical and contemporary context of the residential schools that many Aboriginal people in Canada were required to attend. The issue also includes critical examinations of the litigation and of various features of the settlement itself. It also looks at the larger context including the conduct of lawyers in the litigation.
Mayo Moran is Dean and James Marshall Tory Professor of Law at the Faculty of Law University of Toronto.
Kent Roach is Professor of Law and Prichard-Wilson Chair of Law and Public Policy at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law

The University of Toronto Law Journal, founded in 1935, is the oldest university law journal in Canada. It continues to represent the broad and visionary approach to legal scholarship which was initially announced by W.P.M. Kennedy, the first editor of the Journal, when he ventured the hope that its publication would foster a knowledge of comparative laws ‘not merely as substantive or adjectival systems, but as expressions of organized human life, of ordered progress, and of social justice.’
The journal publishes the work of the most internationally well known scholars, not only in the law, but also in the broad range of disciplines relating to the law, such as economics, political science, philosophy, sociology, and history. www.utpjournals.com/utlj http://bit.ly/utljonline
