Product description
Keep Current. Stay Informed. Be At Your Best in The Courtroom.
Staying on top of substantive changes to the law is challenging, but a necessary part of being a criminal practitioner. It is equally necessary to be aware of amendments to rules of practice.
Whether you are a defense lawyer, crown counsel, judge or paralegal, this annual annotated publication is a necessary reference for criminal proceedings at all three levels of court in Ontario: Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice and Ontario Court of Appeal. The perfect companion to the Gold Code, this book provides the information on criminal practice which isn't found in any annotated Criminal Code.
Features and Benefits
- Provides annotation of most recent case law from court decisions in relation to the rules of practice of the three levels of court in Ontario

1) Analysis, not just annotations
2) Syntheses, not just summaries
3) Case commentaries, not just summaries
4) The point of the cases, not just the cases on point
5) "Cases of note" rather than "cases of not" - Helpful table of concordance illustrates the differences between the old and current Criminal Appeal Rules
