\"Jim<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jim MacKenzie<\/strong>, a longtime member of the Department and one of its earliest members, passed away on Friday, February 5th<\/sup>.  He first joined the Department in 1971 and served as Chair from 1973 to 1975; he retired in 2005.  He taught principally in the areas of constitutional law and tax policy.  Jim studied at Mount Allison, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Ottawa, earning his doctorate at the London School of Economics. He was an especially warm, welcoming and gregarious individual and colleague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As our colleague Lynn Campbell said, he was \u201cone of the great characters and teachers at Carleton\u2026 Jim was larger than life whether as a professor of law, a driver of taxis in Hull, or legal negotiator in the fisheries disputes\u2026  He will be missed.\u201d  He hailed from Glace Bay, Cape Breton, and he remained very much a loyal son of the area \u2013 his contributions of \u201ccod cheeks\u201d (and other exotic parts of that fish) to office potlucks were a testament to that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the Department, Chair Ron Saunders extends our sympathy to Jim\u2019s family and many friends.
