Canadian law : an introduction / Neil Boyd, Simon Fraser University.
"Canadian Law is a core text for the introduction to Canadian law courses at colleges and universities. It's written for students who do not want to become legal professionals but who still need an understanding of the law. These students will pursue careers in criminology or other legal professions such as customs officers, law clerks, etc. The text combines the basic building blocks of Canada's public law system with broad social analysis of the legal order of Canada."-- Provided by publisher.
