Title
Law at McGill: Past, Present and Future
Abstract
In the spring of 1848, a group of 23 students reading law for the Bar of Quebec petitioned McGill College to grant them formal instruction leading to a degree in law. In their petition, they pledged to attend the courses offered by William Badgley (1801-1888), a prominent Montreal advocate and circuit judge, who had been giving occasional lectures in Roman and international law within the Faculty of Arts since 1844. Due to this request, the Board of Governors of McGill formally established a program of instruction in law on July 15, 1848.
