"""Christopher Moore has written an engaging history of the British Columbia Court of Appeal. The personalities of the judges, the problems they confronted, and the context in which they worked all come very much alive. This book provides the reader with a clear picture of the evolution of one of Canada's most important legal institutions. - Robert J. Sharpe, Justice of the Court of Appeal for Ontario"""
