Fonds consists of four series. Series One consists of the professional and personal files of Joseph A. MacKenzie. The files appear to be a sample of his father’s practice kept by John MacKenzie and include the files of several significant clients, such as the Town of Wainwright. Series Two, Prosecutorial Files, consists of transcripts and appeal books for several significant criminal trials MacKenzie prosecuted while the crown attorney in Red Deer, Alberta. Series Three, Keegstra Trial, consists of MacKenzie’s note books, trial transcripts, draft jury addresses and photocopies of evidence from the trial of James Keegstra, the Eckville, Alberta teacher and Holocaust denier. MacKenzie and a jury tried and convicted Keegstra under the hate speech provisions of the Criminal Code in 1985. Series Four, Judge’s Note Books, consists of the note books MacKenzie kept as a judge, starting as a magistrate and through his tenure as a Court of Queen’s Bench judge, including several note books kept for notes on general case law and research for articles.
