New Release Books by Rainer Knopff

"Here finally is a book that unveils the politics that infuse Canadian courts and their decisions ... and warns us of the effects of a judicialized politics on our democratic traditions." - Leslie A. Pal, Carleton University

This extensive revision of the landmark Leading Constitutional Decisions brings together recent Charter cases with the classical cases on the Canadian Constitution. An introductory essay traces the evolution and distinctive features of judicial review in Canada and includes references to the Constitution Act, 1982, and the important changes resulting from it.

"This book features 36 edited Charter decisions accompanied by commentary and analysis. Discussion questions are provided for each of these landmark cases to help facilitate classroom debate and further study."--
