Welcome
to the Great Alberta Law Cases, a dynamic resource for exploring Alberta’s legal
heritage. Developed in proud partnership by the
Heritage Community
Foundation, CKUA Radio Network
and the Alberta
Law Foundation, this interactive site presents in audio format dramatizations
of 30 of Alberta’s most interesting, contentious and influential legal battles
and grounds them in a rich, multimedia historical context.
Whether it is a criminal,
civil or
constitutional conflict,
each case is a fascinating
story with gripping courtroom drama and vivid personalities. Collectively, the cases illuminate the changing nature of Alberta’s
legal system as well as the larger debates and issues that influenced and defined Albertans as they moved through a century of change.
Join us for a journey through Alberta’s colourful legal past. Investigate the
crimes and conflicts through audio, images and text and foster an appreciation for Alberta’s unique legal heritage.
