The Research Challenges of Exposing Physicians’ Sexual Misconduct in Canada
The Law-Love-Life Balancing Act of Viola Vivian DeBeck McCrossan
In 1915, three years after legislation was passed forcing the Law Society of British Columbia to admit women, Viola Vivian DeBeck enrolled in articles. She was the fourth woman to do so. Her principal was her brother's law partner. Thirty-eight years later in 1953, after marriage, children, the death of her husband, and articling for two more principals, she was called and admitted to the bar as Viola Vivian DeBeck McCrossan. She then practised c…

An Update on Self-Regulation in the Legal Profession (1989–2000): Funnel In and Funnel Out
L'article analyse le traitement des plaintes contre des avocats par le système disciplinaire de la Law Society de la Colombie Britannique, de 1989 à 2000. Il pose aussi un regard sur les contextes changeants dans lesquels ce système a opéré entre le moment d'une enquête antérieure (1978 à 1988) et celle-ci. Le traitement réservé aux plaintes est examiné dans une perspective qui tient compte de la manière dont elles sont entrées ( funnel in ) et e…

Fortunate enough to obtain and keep the title of profession”: Self‐regulating organizations and the enforcement of professional monopolies
This paper establishes a framework for examining self‐regulating occupations and their relationships with government, the public and other occupational groups. It then examines one aspect of this regulative bargain, the tools used by self‐regulating organizations to enforce their statutory monopolies, in order to maintain jurisdictional boundaries. Evidence of these strategies was found through a review of the literature on the pros and cons of s…
A Difference without a Distinction? A Comment on “Do Women Judges Make a Difference? An Analysis of Appeal Court Data” by Peter McCormick and Twyla Job
This comment is approached with some trepidation. My eclectic background does not allow me the peace of mind I might have if I had arrived at this point in my life with a more connected or cohesive history. I therefore approach this review from at least three perspectives: ( i ) as a sociologist with training in traditional social science research methods and methodology, ( ii ) as a lawyer with some experience prosecuting in provincial court, an…
Resistance by the Club” to the Feminization of the Legal Profession
This paper examines the growth in numbers of lawyers in Canada and British Columbia, and the attrition rates of members from the Law Society of British Columbia. It then reports on the results of a survey of former members of the Law Society of British Columbia which examines the reasons why these former members did not renew their memberships in the Law Society, their perceptions of gender bias in the legal profession in British Columbia, their …
Self-Regulation in the Legal Profession: Funnel In, Funnel Out, or Funnel Away
Self-regulation in the legal profession has recently, as it has on previous occasions, come under a barrage of criticism. This paper examines a narrow aspect of self-regulation, the processing of complaints through to dispositions within the disciplinary system of the Law Society of British Columbia between 1978-1988. Statistics and case reports of the Law Society are used to examine the disciplining of lawyers in light of a model which encompass…
Getting High in an Alcohol Treatment Unit
Fun Therapy is used in an Alcohol Treatment Program to “hook the Child,” clarify ego states, deal with rackets vs real feelings, suggest alternatives to passivity, and put a new show on the road for patients with a “Don't Have Fun” injunction
Facts or artifacts? Changing public attitudes toward the mentally ill
Attitudes Toward Delinquency by Court Officials: Comparisons Between North America and Europe
When attitude questionnaires are translated from one language to another it is difficult to interpret responses for the purpose of cross cultural comparisons. This study attempts to compare attitudes of juvenile court officials in Vienna and Boston by rank ordering equivalent roles along various attitudinal dimensions. In Vienna, judges, police, state attorneys, and lay judges usually have a more "conservative" outlook than probation officers and…
Public rejection of the ex‐mental patient: Are attitudes changing
Selon une analyse détaillée des articles écrits sur l'attitude sociale envers les patients ex‐mentaux, il ressort que la société adopte une attitude plus tolérante envers ces ex‐malades. Toutefois, il est à noter que le degré de tolérance révélé vane selon les études. Afin de permettre une analyse plus complète de ce changement social, nous avons choisi l'étude de Cummings intitulée « Closed Ranks » comme base de nos recherches présentes. Faisant…
Changing Public Recognition of Psychiatric Symptoms? Blackfoot Revisited
The question of public recognition of psychiatric symptoms was re-examined by a resurvey of the Cumming's Closed Ranks (1957) study area. There was no evidence to support post-i 960findings that public recognition of psychiatric symptoms had increased dramatically. Blackfoot 1974 results were more like the original Cummings' study than any other study. There were, however, afew changes in the public's recognition of psychiatric symptoms in terms …
