Introduction to Canadian Law

Introduction to Canadian Law was written with two objectives in mind. It aims to make the complexities of law accessible to undergraduate students without prior knowledge of the subject. To this end, the content is presented in plain language, and chapters are logically structured and easy to follow. Key terms are highlighted and defined, and context is provided to assist with comprehension. Secondly, while accessibility is emphasized, this textbook is comprehensive. All key aspects of the topics are discussed. Statutes and case law are cited frequently to support the discussion and to provide real-world examples. “Live” links in the notes provide access to sources, allowing readers to further explore concepts. Within the book, excerpts from case law are included in separate boxes to elaborate on key legal issues. Review questions with answer keys help practice the legal concepts covered.
