Professor Kent Roach's book on former Chief Justice Brian Dickson of the Supreme Court of Canada was featured in series of articles by Globe and Mail legal reporter Kirk Makin starting December 4, 2003.

In his review of the book on January 3, 2004, Makin says the landmark book, Brian Dickson: A Judge's Journey, co-written by Prof. Roach and Judge Robert Sharpe, provides a rare view into the inner workings of the country's top courts.

"Surprisingly, this is the first serious attempt to profile this towering figure in law. It is unlikely to have many rivals in the near future. In marrying Dickson's life experiences to his evolving rulings, the authors have produced a penetrating piece of work."
