The Foundation For Legal Research
Program
Description
The goal of the Foundation is to support and encourage legal writing that is of value to Canadian lawyers, notaries and judges in their day-to-day work in the law and in the administration of justice. The grants are generally in amounts greater than $5,000 and less than or equal to $10,000.
The Foundation provides funds for legal research that falls into three broad categories:- Research and writing that emphasizes the statement of existing rules of law, which is often called doctrinal research.
- Research that relates to the workings of the legal system.
- Research that relates to developments in fields peripheral to legal doctrine, such as criminology, psychology, psychiatry, sociology and economics, and their relationship to rules of law.
- Criminal law
- Evidence and procedure
- Contracts (including general law of obligations)
- Constitutional (including equality)
- Administrative law (including political systems)
- Family law (including social status)
- Torts
- Courts and administration of justice (including general review of cases)
