The Department of Justice Canada's Legal Dualism Team has the mandate of conducting studies in economics occasionally and creating linguistic tools based on observation and analysis of the bilingual and bisystemic nature of the Canadian legal framework. The Team has four members, whose training and skills reflect several university disciplines, notably law, linguistics and sociology.

The administration of the Team and its work is assigned to Anne Des Ormeaux, a member of the Barreau du Québec (Quebec Bar Association) and the Law Society of Upper Canada. Ms. Des Ormeaux is responsible for all the legal aspects of the work involved in the analysis and development of Canadian legal dualism and legal bisystemism.

The Team's co-manager is Jean-Marie Lessard, a trained linguist who is a senior advisor in the Department of Justice. He supervises all the linguistic, philosophical and informatics aspects of the work involved in the analysis and development of Canadian legal dualism and legal bisystemism.

Ms. Des Ormeaux and Mr. Lessard are the authors of the Legal Dictionary of Property in Canada. They also conceived and led all projects surrounding the Dictionary's publication and carried out additional related studies.

The preparation and management of all the textual databases used in the Team's work is the responsibility of Nancy Bouffard, an analyst in the Department of Justice. The electronic databases for which she is responsible are used as much for internal analysis as for external consultation of the corpus containing court decisions.

Isabelle Palad is a paralegal who is involved in all of the Department's work dealing with legal dualism. She is responsible for organizing and supervising the complementary training in civil law and common law offered at the Department. Electronic communications, particularly the preparation of the dualjuridik.org Web site, are also her responsibility.

Since 2006, the Team has benefited from the work done by Sara Ulmer, a civil law and common law graduate from the University of Ottawa. She has contributed to the Team's various research and analysis projects, doing paralegal work and providing assistance to other students.

Since the beginning of the project in 2005, many people have taken part in the work of the Dictionary's team, notably through contracts given to Masters students. Their names have been added to the Dictionary's credits list.
