<p>This highly acclaimed treatise 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 principles of precedent and stare decicis in shaping judge-made law.  A special chapter on the Quebec legal system presents the historical development of its unique hybrid system of private law based on the Civil Code ad public law based on common law.  The new edition features such contentious issues faced by our legal system as access to justice, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, publication bans, military and aboriginal justice systems, court reform, shifty paradigms in legal education and the recent history of failed constitutional initiatives.</p>
