Description

The undergraduate law curriculum adopted at McGill University in 1998--the transsystemic programme--was born of the unique political, social, and intellectual histories of its Faculty of Law. This essay reviews these contexts and characterizes the programme as an ongoing conversation about law, language, and knowledge that has animated the teaching programme since the faculty's founding, 150 years ago. The essay begins by juxtaposing the phrases "No Vehicles in Park" and "No Toilets in Park" to suggest that law and legal education are hermeneutic endeavours embedded in social experience. At McGill, this interpretive practice may be described as "constitutive polyjurality"--a term the authors coin to capture the theoretical ground of transsystemic teaching, an epistemological and pedagogical practice at once pluralist, polycentric, non-positivist, and interactive.
