Criminal Procedure: Cases and Materials

Criminal Procedure: Cases and Materials is the first comprehensive and truly practical treatment of criminal procedure in Canada. Unlike other texts in this area, this book serves as both a casebook and a textbook, offering case summaries and analysis, as well as detailed insights into common activities within a criminal court. The author team—whose experience includes decades of teaching and practice—offers insight into Charter concerns as well as real-world courtroom topics like plea bargains, elections, and pre-trial issues. Additionally, each chapter concludes with questions that encourage the reader to think critically and engage with the material. This practice-oriented approach will not only educate readers on the law and various legal principles, but also prepare them to actually enter a courtroom.
