Title
History of the Montreal Juvenile Court: An Historical Descriptive Study of the Development of the Montreal Juvenile Court, Later Known as the Social Welfare Court
Abstract
Unlike Quebec's health and educational systems up to the late twentieth century, Montreal's juvenile court, established in 1912, was non-confessional and was to serve all religious groups. The authors point out that both French Catholics and English Protestant, at different times, opposed this set-up. In 1915, the Montreal newspaper Le Devoir, suspicious of the court's Protestant and American tendencies, called for confessional juvenile courts. In the early 1930s, the city's English language newspapers similarly argued for separate courts for the Anglophone community.
