Alberta has witnessed many remarkable, even dramatic, court cases. This yearʼs esteemed (pithy) after-dinner raconteur will recognize some of these extraordinary court house events, including the 1918 fight of Chief Justice Harvey against the guns of the Canadian Army over the conscription of a farmerʼs son, the murder conviction of the last man hanged in Alberta for killing seven family members, the divorce granted in the Judgesʼ library to a Provincial Cabinet Minister, the fight for the Provinceʼs top judicial post, and the life and times of the Premierʼs mistress. All tending to prove how often historical truth can be stranger than fiction.
