{"product_id":"9781442651289","title":"Inside the Law: Canadian Law Firms in Historical Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaw firms are important economic institutions in this country: they   collect hundreds of millions of dollars annually in fees, they order the affairs of   businesses and of many government agencies, and their members include some of the   most influential Canadians. Some firms have a history stretching back nearly two   hundred years, and many are over a century old. Yet the history of law firms in   Canada has remained largely unknown. This collection of essays, Volume VII in the   Osgoode Society's series of Essays in the History of Canadian Law, is the first   focused study of a variety of law firms and how they have evolved over a century and   a half, from the golden age of the sole practitioner in the pre-industrial era to   the recent rise of the mega-firm. The volume as a whole is an exploration of the   impact of economic and social change on law-firm culture and organization. The   introduction by Carol Wilton provides a chronological overview of Canadian law-firm   evolution and emphasizes the distinctiveness of Canadian law-firm history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155103793392,"sku":"9781442651289","price":65.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442651289_p0.jpg?v=1763810976","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442651289","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
