Canadian Cases in the Philosophy of Law: 3rd edition - Softcover
This book makes readily available a wealth of material that illustrates the application of legal principles in a Canadian context. Bickenbach has included over forty cases, each carefully edited to eliminate material not relevant to the key issues involved. Many of the important Charter of Rights decisions of the 1980s and 1990s are among the selections, but so are early landmark decisions - such as the 1930 "persons" case in which the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council overturned a ruling that the restriction of Senate appointments to "qualified persons" meant that women could not be considered.
For the new edition Professor Bickenbach has added twelve recent cases, including R. v. Latimer and RJR - Macdonald Inc. v. Attorney-General of Canada.
