Title
Une culture de l’amalgame au prétoire : les avocats de Québec et l’élaboration d'une langue juridique commune au tournant des XVIIIe et XIXe siècle
Abstract
An examination of the intercultural hybrid that developed in Quebec's civil justice system at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. Following the Quebec Act of 1774, French- and English-speaking lawyers alike criticized the legal administration established under French civil law in Lower Canada. As a result of contacts and exchanges between culturally diversified players within the colony’s legal community, and the ordinary individuals being represented, the author concludes that a hybrid dynamic developed over time in the language used in court proceedings and in everyday legal language.
