Trente ans et mille personnes diplomees en 2007 : l’enseignement de la Common Law en francais à l’Universite d’Ottawa (Thirty Years and Thirty Degrees Later: Evaluating the French Common Law Program at the University of Ottawa)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A l’approche du 30e anniversaire du programme de common law en francais, quatre chercheuses et chercheurs ont entrepris de dresser le bilan des investissements sur le plan des etudes de common law en francais et du rayonnement subsequent des juristes ainsi formes sur la scene canadienne. L’objet etait de mesurer les effets que ces juristes ont eus sur la profession juridique, dans les communautes de langue officielle en situation minoritaire et, plus generalement, sur l’acces a la justice en francais. Ce texte presente les resultats de cette recherche en insistant sur le profil des personnes diplomees, sur leur contribution a l’essor des services juridiques en francais, enfin sur le role du gouvernement et du programme dans la vitalite des communautes de langues officielles. Malgre les obstacles qui persistent, les personnes diplomees de ce programme jouent indeniablement un grand role aupres des francophones qui cherchent a se prevaloir de leurs droits a des services juridiques dans leur langue.With the advent of the French Common Law Program’s 30th anniversary, four researchers undertook an appraisal study of the investments with regards to common law training in French, and the subsequent influence of these graduates nationally. The objective was to evaluate the impact of the Program’s graduates on the legal profession, on official language minority communities and overall, on access to justice in French. This article presents the results of this study with an emphasis on the profile of graduates, their contribution to the expansion of legal services in French, and the government and Program’s role in the vitality of official language communities. Despite enduring obstacles, French Program graduates do undeniably assist Francophones at great length in availing themselves of their right to legal services in their own language.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
