LAW LIBRARY

Faculty and students have at their disposal a specialized law library which occupies the two top floors of Fauteux Hall.

The library serves both the Common Law Section and the Section de droit civil and contains a rich collection of Canadian law, featuring mainly Ontario and Quebec publications. The collection also includes basic documentation (Statute and Case Law) from the United States, the United Kingdom and France. The library also contains more and more legal materials related to the European Community.

The law library boasts more than 200, 000 volumes and subscribes to approximately 750 periodicals. The library offers all necessary facilities for University-level studies and for research, including reference services and a computer laboratory. Study, discussion and seminar rooms as well as photocopy services are available. For further information with regard to services offered, the organization of the collection and the rules and regulations of the library, students are advised to attend the information sessions at the beginning of the academic year.

In addition to access to other libraries of the University of Ottawa, students who undertake specialized research can make arrangements to use the library of the Supreme Court of Canada (the richest and most important of law libraries in Canada), the library of the Department of Justice and the Library of Canada as well as the libraries of other departments and institutions of the federal government.

Human Rights Research and Education Centre

DIRECTOR: Errol Mendes

DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS: Robin Wentzell

LIBRARIAN: Alan Fleichman

FINANCIAL OFFICER: Nicole Hall

ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY: Susan Lecorre

The Human Rights Research and Education Centre was established at the Faculty of Law in 1981. The University of Ottawa was an ideal location for the Centre as there are both civil law and common law faculties operating in this fully bilingual university. The Ottawa location also allows for regular contact with federal and provincial governments, other academic institutions and non-governmental organizations involved in human rights.

The Centre has three goals: research, education, and the promotion of human rights. In Canada the Centre focuses on social justice and equality issues, including discrimination, employment equity, and corporate codes of conduct. Internationally, the emphasis is on strengthening the work of human rights institutions, good governance, democratic development and human rights, including women’s rights. There are projects in China, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, El Salvador, Sri Lanka, India, and planned projects around the world.

The Centre has a human rights documentation centre, housing some 16,000 books and documents on Canadian and international human rights issues, including a comprehensive collection on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and constitutional law, and materials on social justice, equality and international development issues. The documentation centre is fully computerized and is open to students daily for on-site research and consultations.

Centre for Trade Policy and Law

The Centre for Trade Policy and Law (CTPL), established in 1989, is jointly sponsored by the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University and the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa. CTPL was established to promote greater public understanding of trade policy issues, to foster independent analysis and research of trade policy issues, and to encourage the development of trade policy professionals. The core of the Centre’s program includes a range of interrelated activities:

Teaching: Relying on increased resources dedicated to teaching graduate and professional students at the two sponsoring universities and on programs offered to public servants, business and labour organizations, CTPL acts as a catalyst for the development of teaching programs at other Canadian universities by working with faculty in developing teaching materials, encouraging faculty exchanges and holding regular seminars on the teaching of trade policy in Canada.

Seminars and Conferences: Aimed at wider audiences where academics, government officials and private sector specialists can explore a range of trade policy issues and stimulate greater public discussion of trade policy issues.

Research and Publications: CTPL encourages both applied and theoretical research in the area of trade policy by helping qualified scholars obtain the necessary funds to carry out their research. Research also promoted through the publication of reviewed monographs and conference proceedings as well as the development of a resource centre to act as a central repository for material on trade policy. CTPL promotes its national mandate by inviting scholars from across Canada to participate in seminars, special lectureships, conferences and research projects and stimulate an exchange of human resources between academic, government, business and labour organizations.

Canadian Centre for Linguistic Rights

The Canadian Centre for Linguistic Rights was established at the Faculty of Law of the University of Ottawa to centralize intellectual dialogue and research efforts from across Canada and beyond, in order to avoid duplication and to stimulate research that will advance the legal status of linguistic rights. The Centre’s more specific mandate is to collect as much national and international documentation as possible on linguistic rights, to promote better knowledge of linguistic and cultural issues, to create a network of resource persons in these fields, to facilitate contacts between these people, to encourage research in linguistic law and to undertake activities to make people aware of linguistic rights that could promote future interaction. Its activities include the hosting of conferences and the publication of a bulletin.

Hyman Soloway Chair in Business and Trade Law

The Hyman Soloway Chair in Business and Trade Law promotes teaching and research in these areas. Drawing on the bilingual and bijuridical strengths of the Faculty of Law, the Chair helps meet the needs of legal practitioners arising from the public regulation of business and trade at the national, bilateral and international levels.

Gordon F. Henderson Chair

The Gordon F. Henderson Chair was established in 1981 and is dedicated to human rights research, teaching and promotion in Canada and abroad.

The Gordon F. Henderson Chair in Human Rights plays a key role in the University’s efforts to support research and teaching on basic issues in the field of human rights and to meet the needs of individuals, academics and institutions in Canada as well as abroad.
