<p>Meticulously researched and elegantly written, Emond’s highly anticipated Introduction to Law in Canada illuminates the historical development and current incarnation of the Canadian legal system. Employing a pan-Canadian approach, this new textbook will serve as a comprehensive, all-in-one resource for any course that provides an overview of Canada’s legal system.\nThe book is divided into four parts. Part I, Theory and Context, examines theories of the law, the divisions of law, and legal systems around the world. It explores the origins of bijuralism, Confederation, and the nature and functions of Canada’s Constitution. Part II, Law and the Canadian Constitution, examines the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and includes a discussion of civil liberties. Part III, Private Law and Public Law, provides an introductory survey of torts, contracts, family law, property law, business and consumer law, public law, and Canada’s criminal justice system. Finally, Part IV, Working with the Law, explores the legal profession more generally, legal ethics, and law reform.</p>
