Canadian Cases in the Philosophy of Law - Sixth Edition

This collection provides substantial excerpts from many of the most important and philosophically thought-provoking cases in Canadian law, as well as other materials of legal and philosophical interest. Topics include constitutional law, fundamental freedoms, equality, procedural justice, civil and criminal responsibility, and Indigenous rights to self-determination. All cases have been edited to present key legal principles and methods of judicial reasoning in action, showing important decisions in Canadian law and the way those decisions were made. A glossary of common legal terms and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are also included.

This sixth edition adds sixteen cases, a new section on the extraterritorial application of Canadian law, and coverage of other emerging issues such as judicial use of artificial intelligence.
