Legal Cases
The legal case records are decisions rendered by judges from the Supreme Court of
BC, the Supreme Court of Canada, and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in
litigation involving Japanese Canadians. Legal scholars under the guidance of Eric M. Adams, identified these documents as
key cases in the history of Japanese-Canadian relationships with the Canadian state,
citizenship, and property rights.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
