"A biography of Hon. Patrick Kerwin, a Chief Justice of Canada in the mid-twentieth century, who was born in 1889. He studied law at Osgoode Hall in Toronto, was called to the bar of Ontario in 1911, became King's Counsel in 1928, and became a Supreme Court of Ontario Justice in 1932. In 1935, he became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and in 1954 he became Chief Justice. In this biography, Stephen McKenna looks at Patrick's early years and examines his career, the cases, and his family and social life. It is an intimate look ... a fireside chat ... good, sound advice ... enlightening quotes to inspire rational judgement."--
