Mr. Mayrand鈥檚 career was diverse as well as prolific. A veritable pioneer, he was one of the first members of the legal professorial corps at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al (1948-1965), his alma mater.

His articles and books, including the Dictionnaire de maximes et locutions latines utilis茅es en droit which underwent three editions, treat many diverse areas of Civil Law. As a brilliant author and as the editor of the Revue du Barreau, he left a profound mark in the development of Quebec private law. Indeed, his concise writing style and subtle humour have become legendary.

As a very active member of the Civil Code Revision Office (in property law, family law, and civil responsibility), he greatly contributed to the important changes brought about by the reform of the Civil Code.

Albert Mayrand continued his career at the Superior Court of Qu茅bec (1965-1974) and then at the Court of Appeal of Qu茅bec (1974-1986), enriching the bench with his renowned wisdom and broad legal culture. In 1997, he was appointed legal advisor of the National Assembly of Qu茅bec.

In 1965, the University of Ottawa awarded him an honorary doctorate. Soon after, the Universit茅 de Montr茅al named him professor emeritus at the Faculty of Law (1969).
