Synopsis

This highly acclaimed introductory work covers all aspects of Canada's legal system and its legal institutions. Beginning with the nature and sources of Canadian law, the author examines the constitutional division of legislative powers, and the impact of the Charter on legislative authority. Separate chapters detail the role and hierarchy of the courts, the role of judges and lawyers, and the principle of stare decisis in shaping judge-made law with a special chapter on the Quebec legal system. The 4th edition features such contentious issues faced by our legal system as access to justice, publication bans and court reform.
