Caesar Wright

Caesar Wright

Cecil Augustus Wright (July 2, 1904 - April 24, 1967), often called Caesar Wright, was a famous Canadian jurist, law professor, and a prominent figure in the Canadian legal education reform. He was among the first law professors to import the Harvard case method into Canadian legal education. He was also known for his confrontational and aggressive personality.

He was born in London, Ontario. He taught at Osgoode Hall Law School from 1927. During this time he championed many reforms of the legal education system. However, in 1949, when the Law Society of Upper Canada rejected his proposed reforms he left Osgoode to take up a position of dean at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. Together, with other professors, including Bora Laskin, they changed the undergraduate law program into a professional law school. He stayed at the University until his death.
