Product description
Eliminate Time-Consuming, Unfocused Research
Relying on traditional sentencing texts and the Criminal Code to locate an anchor for a particular proposition of law can lead to hours of wasted time. Similarly, answering questions that arise in the heat of the courtroom may require you to consult several resources on sentencing. Yet the typical courtroom recess granted by a judge is only 15 minutes.
The Sentencing Code of Canada - Principles and Objectives gives you a comprehensive, near exhaustive review of Sections 718-718.21 of the Criminal Code. This one-stop resource sets out the five most important steps in sentencing that the Court and counsel must consider in every case, organized from broadest to most specific:
- The codified objectives
- The codified fundamental principle
- The codified secondary principles
- The codified circumstances, including aggravating and mitigating circumstances
- Additional factors
Analysis of each element includes references to both leading and lesser known decisions from across the country to illuminate how courts have applied these objectives and principles. Detailed extracts from key decisions illustrate the weight given to particular principles in various sentencing situations and will help you present an authoritative submission almost immediately.
Justice Renaud has published six other books on sentencing, advocacy and evidence. He is a long-time contributor to Alan D. Gold's Criminal Law NetLetter™, a weekly current awareness service covering recent cases on criminal offences, evidence, and procedure, as well as sentencing and young offenders.
