A walking tour of Halifax legal history – Lawyers Weekly | Dean Jobb
Halifax – The man of the hour, resplendent in his scarlet robes and a flowing white wig, was not impressed. The procession to mark Jonathan Belcher’s installation as Nova Scotia’s first chief justice passed over muddy streets “of a very convenient Breadth,” he would later note, but “not yet levell’d or paved.”
It was October 22, 1754 and Belcher was getting his first taste of Halifax, a garrison town of about 1,500 founded barely five years earlier. There was none of the grandeur of London and Dublin, where he had practiced law, but it was the kind of place an ambitious lawyer could quickly shoot to the top.
After a stop at the Pontac Tavern – for “an elegant breakfast” and to receive congratulations from “a gathering of ladies, army officers and merchants” – Belcher was escorted to the courthouse, where his first official act was to exhort a grand jury to wield the “sword of Justice” to protect the innocent and to strike terror into “the noxious and guilty.”
A lot of legal history has been made in Halifax in the 257 years since Belcher declared Canada’s first superior court open for business, and many law-related historic sites and buildings are within a few blocks of the World Trade and Convention Centre and other downtown venues for this month’s CBA convention.
So why not take an hour or two to see where all this history was made? Grab a map of the city’s levelled and paved streets, fortify yourself with an elegant breakfast and follow the route of this suggested walking tour:
Law Courts Building , 1815 Upper Water St.: The waterfront home of the provincial Supreme Court and Court of Appeal only opened in 1971, but history has been made behind its unassuming concrete façade. Here, in the 1980s, CBC journalist Linden MacIntyre won access to search warrant files in a leading precedent on access to the courts, and Donald Marshall Jr., who was wrongly convicted of murder, was finally acquitted after serving 11 years in prison.
