Less Painful Duties by C D Evans

In Less Painful Duties, C.D. Evans shares his reflections upon the revolutionary events in his Profession in the last fifty years: the Charter of Rights; the welcome female ascendancy; disclosure; Law Society governance; legal aid and pro bono; Alberta Courts and Judicial appointments; the impact of the computer, the cell phone, and social media; and the decline of advocacy.
C.D. Evans QC is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and held the Milvain Visiting Chair in Advocacy at the University of Calgary Faculty of Law. He is a Life Member of the National Criminal Law Program Faculty. Called in Alberta and Northwest Territories, he has argued in the Supreme Court of Canada and other jurisdictions. Mr. Evans authored two other legal memoirs, Milt Harradence: The Western Flair; and A Painful Duty: Forty Years at the Criminal Bar. He also co-wrote Durvile Publications' 5000 Dead Ducks: Lust and Revolution in the Oilsands, and co-edited Tough Crimes: True Cases by Top Canadian Criminal Lawyers. He is known for his courtroom eloquence and as a man who runs to the beat of a different drummer.
