Abstract
This paper is the winner of this year's William Morrow Essay competition. It traces the origin and evolution of the law of adverse possession. Petersson commences with a thorough overview of the current status of adverse possession in Canada. The reader is then transported back in time to medieval England to bear witness as historical forces forge the law into twin principles of extinction and acquisition. From the regal court of Henry II, the reader is then whisked to the humble offices of the Registrar of Land Titles as the paper guides one through modern property law relating to adverse possession. The journey ends with an enlightening discussion of the justifications for, and future of, adverse possession in Alberta.
