With \u003cem\u003eFoundations of Justice\u003c\/em\u003e, author David Mittelstadt, along with the Legal Archives Society of Alberta, has crafted a striking work about the history of courthouses built in Alberta between 1874 and 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Based on the author's extensive research, it considers the influence of local and provincial politics on courthouse construction in addition to the cultural and economic milieu of the time. As part of the overall historical context, \u003cem\u003eFoundations of Justice\u003c\/em\u003e also presents some of the more colourful aspects of Alberta's little-known legal history, as well as an account of the evolution of the court system. Most courthouses have a rich and detailed history, and as landmarks, they are important not only for their functional requirements but as symbols of the cultural ideals that they reflect in our society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Mittelstaat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1552381234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552381236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Calgary Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.86h x 8.28w x 1.04d","brand":"David Mittelstaat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082822295807,"sku":"9781552381236","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foundations-of-justice-david-mittelstaat-9781552381236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
