From Crime to Punishment, 7th Edition

Joel E. Pink, Q.C., David Perrier, Ph.D.

 

The 7th edition of From Crime to Punishment provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to criminal law and criminal procedure now available in Canada. The authors have crafted a careful examination of the entire criminal process from the commission of a crime to conviction and sentencing, including an overview of the foundations of our present criminal law system. Originally written for the layperson and those interested or presently working within the legal and criminal justice systems, the present work covers diverse topics such as the basic principles of criminal law to how judges determine the credibility of witnesses in courtroom proceedings. This book simplifies what others have found to be complex and mystifying about our criminal law system, and therefore, is an excellent resource for those interested in understanding how it functions in the real world.

Charter Justice in Canadian Criminal Law, 5th Edition + CD   

Don Stuart, B.A., LL.B., Dipl. In Criminology, D. Phil.

 

This influential text provides a critical review of how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is being applied in the criminal courts by the Supreme Court, courts of appeal and trial judges. The central authorities and arguments are fully examined.

The fifth edition had to be substantially revised to reflect the impact of recent Supreme Court of Canada bellweather decisions in Grant and the companion decisions in Harrison and Suberu. These decisions require a new approach to the meaning of detention for Charter purposes and to the remedy of exclusion of evidence under section 24(2) of the Charter. Much of the voluminous prior jurisprudence on section 24(2) over the past 27 years relating to the meaning and consequences of conscripting the accused in violation of the Charter is now of little moment. New clarifications and new questions are identified.

Other major new Supreme Court decisions in the past five years analysed in this edition include:

 

·         Beatty: Objective fault for crimes requiring marked departure from norm

·         Kang-Brown and A.M.: Police power to use dog sniffers on reasonable suspicion

·         Clayton and Farmer: Roadblock stop powers

·         Henry: Use Immunity under Section 13 limited to prior compelled testimony

·         Singh: Controversial decision right to silence does not apply to interrogation

·         Patrick: No reasonable expectation of privacy in garbage placed for delivery

·         Godin: Inferring prejudice respecting right to be tried within reasonable time

·         McNeil: Disclosure of records of police misconduct and O'Connor applications;

·         M.E.R.: Less Appellate Review under Duty to Give Reasons

·         Kapp: Revised approached to discrimination under s.15

The Practical Guide to Evidence in Criminal Cases, Seventh Edition

The Honourable Roger E. Salhany

 

This practical guide to criminal evidence provides a clear explanation of the different kinds of evidence admissible in criminal cases, the rules excluding certain categories of evidence and exceptions to those rules. The work is ideal as a handy courtroom reference for legal practitioners as well as a learning tool for students of the criminal process. This useful text serves to demystify the rules of criminal evidence, which have been significantly reshaped in recent times by the appellate courts and the Supreme Court of Canada.

New to the 7th edition are revised chapters and new sections dealing with all of the important decisions rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada, Provincial Appellate Courts and Superior Courts since the 6th edition including commentary on the test for admitting hearsay evidence (Khelawon); the new test in the application of S. 24(2) of the Charter (Grant), the confession rule (Oickle, Spencer and Singh), and more.

Brand Management in Canadian Law, 3rd Edition

John S. McKeown

 

This book considers brand management from a legal perspective and in a clear and understandable fashion. The components that make up a brand, a consumer's perception of a brand, brand equity, brand leverage and integration are discussed initially. Additional chapters deal with legal considerations relating to choice of a brand name, branding on the internet, protecting the components of a brand and developing effective brand management policies. Many textbooks deal with trade mark law and other legal doctrines that apply to a brand and the components that make up a brand. However, this material does not typically provide any assistance concerning how the legal doctrines relate to brand management. This new edition adds significant new material concerning concepts such as phishing and related problems, sale of counterfeits on the Internet, metatags, keywords and search engine rankings, and basic business oriented rules concerning trade mark use that are consistent with the requirements of the Act and should be followed in all cases. Updates to the publication have taken into account case law developments decided since the second edition.
