Gerald F. Fitzgerald Papers
Fonds
Gerald Fitzgerald graduated from the University of St. Joseph with a B.A. in 1935 and a M.A. in 1937. In 1943 he received his Ph.D. from Ottawa. He served as a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization judicial board (1946-1952) and later as Senior Legal Officer. He lectured on aviation law, hijacking and ICAO in the Faculty of Law's Institute of Air and Space Law 1959-62, 1964-1980s.
The bulk of the records consist of course materials: lecture notes, and supporting documents such as case studies and regulations for courses on air law, particularly hijacking, and on the legal relationship between ICAO and the UN Secretariat. There are also several articles and talks delivered by Fitzgerald at conferences at Potsdam (1970) and elsewhere. Included are several versions of a lecture on multiculturalism in Quebec, ca. 1970. A small amount of correspondence, mainly with the Law Faculty is included.
