Paper: O n the Possibilities for Aboriginal Title Legislation in Canada Jean Leclai r (commentateur) Born in Montréal in 1963\, Jean Leclair obtained his la w degree from the Université de Montreal in 1985 and was admitted to the Quebec Bar a year later. He then clerked for the Honorable Alice Desjardi ns\, justice of Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal. After having been awar ded the Duff-Rinfret scholarship\, Leclair pursued graduate studies of la w (LLM) under the supervision of Professor André Morel and was appointed  professor of constitutional law and legal history at the Université de Montréal in 1991. In 1999\, he launched a course entitled « Aboriginal  Legal Issues. » Professor Leclair’s interest for federalism has led him to author various studies on the administration of the environment in the Canadian federal structure and on the constitutional underpinnings of Canadian bijuralism. For more than ten years\, he has been interested in the (re)configuration of political relationships between Aboriginal peopl es and governments and the reconfiguration of relationships within Aborig inal communities. The structuring effects of law on the evolution of these relationships are his field of predilection. Professor Leclair also dire cts his attention to the epistemological issues created by the conjuncture of law and other areas of the social sciences. Additionally\, he is work ing on a theory of federalism that would satisfy Aboriginal communities wi thout requiring their members to adhere to a monistic concept of their id entity.
