Although best known as a prolific author of cutting-edge, widely respected writing about many areas of the law, ranging from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, to torts, Métis rights, privacy, equality, environmental rights, and legal history, Dale Gibson (1933-2022) had a stellar career as a distinguished professor of law in both Manitoba and Alberta and as a prominent advocate in the courts, including frequent appearances in the Supreme Court of Canada.
Once called one of the fastest pens in the West for his contributions to the patriation of the Charter, Professor Gibson's creative output over his long life was not limited to the law; less well-known are the numerous products of a lifetime of artistic expressions, as necessary to him as breathing. Equally creative in poetry and the visual arts, this book brings together for the first time some of the artifacts of Dale's supple mind and artistic hand, along with a remarkably humorous autobiographical essay and a comprehensive bibliography of Professor Gibson's contributions to Canadian law and legal history.
