World Legal Systems
http://www.juriglobe.ca/
Visitors pick your language! This University
of Ottawa website can be read in six different languages, including Arabic,
Russian, Chinese and English. The "About JuriGlobe" link, on the
left hand side menu of any page, explains the three main goals of the site.
Visitors will learn that the law professors who formed this site feel there
should be more recognition and consideration of "the diversity of the
various legal systems, their languages and their economic and demographic
importance in the world." Once visitors choose their language, they will
be redirected to a map that shows the different types of law that govern the
countries of the world. Across the top of the map are links to explanations
of the different types of law, as well as which countries have a combination
of laws or a unified system of laws. The types of law represented on the map
are "Civil Law", "Common Law", "Muslim Law",
"Customary Law", and "Mixed Systems". The "Demographic
Distribution" link on the left hand side menu illustrates with graphs
and tables the percentage in which the world population is represented by
the various legal systems.

paper offers some excellent information on welfare reforms in Ontario in the mid-1990s,
and it covers a number of contentious issues, including the Mike Harris welfare
