Product description
Canada's Foremost Criminal Law Experts Weigh In on the Charter's Impact on the Criminal Justice System
When the Charter of Rights and Freedoms turned twenty-five in 2007, Professors Jamie Cameron and James Stribopoulos organized a conference which brought together leading thinkers on the Charter and criminal justice. A strong faculty of academics, judges and practitioners debated and discussed the Charter's impact on criminal justice. The papers from this conference, which have now been edited by Professors Cameron and Stribopoulos, provide a fascinating look at how the Charter has changed the Canadian criminal law and the justice system.
Invaluable for Academics and Legal Professionals
Get expert analysis and insight on the ways the Charter has recalibrated the critical balance between the individual and the state in the criminal process. The Charter's impact on the definition of offences, detention and arrest, search and seizure, interrogation, the trial process and the rules of evidence are considered, as are the perspectives of those who are often left out - the young, aboriginals, victims and racialized minorities. Charter claims have become essential to criminal practice and this book not only considers those arguments that have been successful before the courts but also where the courts are headed in their treatment of this aspect of law.
Anyone with an interest in criminal or constitutional law will find this book an invaluable resource in gaining a sense of where we have been and, even more importantly, where we are going.
