A History of Law in Canada, Vol. 1 by Philip Girard,Jim Phillips,R. Blake Brown Pdf
A History of Law in Canada is the first of two volumes. Volume one begins at a time just prior to European contact and continues to the 1860s, while volume two will start with Confederation and end at approximately 2000. The history of law includes substantive law, legal institutions, legal actors, and legal culture. The authors assume that since 1500 there have been three legal systems in Canada - the Indigenous, the French, and the English. At all times, these systems have co-existed and interacted, with the relative power and influence of each being more or less dominant in different periods. The history of law cannot be treated in isolation, and this book examines law as a dynamic process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the long term. The law guided and was guided by economic developments, was influenced and moulded by the nature and trajectory of political ideas and institutions, and variously exacerbated or mediated intercultural exchange and conflict. These themes are apparent in this examination, and through most areas of law including land settlement and tenure, and family, commercial, constitutional, and criminal law.
Offending Youth by Kerry Carrington,Margaret Pereira Pdf
Rates of female delinquency, especially for violent crimes, are increasing in most common law countries. At the same time the growth in cyber-bullying, especially among girls, appears to be a related global phenomenon.While the gender gap in delinquency is narrowing in Australia, United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, boys continue to dominate the youth who commit crime and have a virtual monopoly over sexually violent crimes. Indigenous youth continue to be vastly over-represented in the juvenile justice system in every Australian jurisdiction. The Indigenisation of delinquency is a persistent problem in other countries such as Canada and New Zealand.Young people who gather in public places are susceptible to being perceived as somehow threatening or riotous, attracting more than their share of public order policing. Professional football has been marred by repeated scandals involving sexual assault, violence and drunkenness. Given the cultural significance of footballers as role models to thousands, if not millions, of young men around the world, it is vitally important to address this problem. Offending Youth explores these key contemporary patterns of delinquency, the response to these by the juvenile justice agencies and moreover what can be done to address these problems.The book also analyses the major policy and legislative changes from the nineteenth to twenty first centuries, chiefly the shift the penal welfarism to diversion and restorative justice. Using original cases studied by Carrington twenty years ago, Offending Youth illustrates how penal welfarism criminalised young people from socially marginal backgrounds, especially Aboriginal children, children from single parent families, family-less children, state wards and young people living in poverty or in housing commission estates. A number of inquiries in Australia and the United Kingdom have since established that children committed to these institutions, supposedly for their own good, experienced systemic physical, sexual and psychological abuse during their institutionalisation. The book is dedicated to the survivors of these institutions who only now are receiving official recognition of the injustices they suffered.The underlying philosophy of juvenile justice has fundamentally shifted away from penal welfarism to embrace positive policy responses to juvenile crime, such as youth conferencing, cautions, warnings, restorative justice, circle sentencing and diversion examined in the concluding chapter.Offending Youth is aimed at a broad readership including policy makers, juvenile justice professionals, youth workers, families, teachers, politicians as well as students and academics in criminology, policing, gender studies, masculinity studies, Indigenous studies, justice studies, youth studies and the sociology of youth and deviance more generally.
Canadian Family Law 8/e by Julien D. Payne,Marilyn A. Payne Pdf
Canadian Family Law, 8eprovides expert insight into a wide variety of legal topics that confront families today, including: * the formation and annulment of marriage (ch 2); * cohabitation (ch 3); * domestic contracts (ch 4); * family violence (ch 5); * dispute resolution processes (ch 6); * divorce (ch 7); * spousal support (ch 8); * child support (ch 9); * parenting arrangements (ch 10); * appeals (ch 11); * provincial and territorial legislation (ch 12); and * matrimonial property rights (ch 13). In each of these areas, the authors bring their readers up to date with notable trial and appellate decisions issued since the publication of the seventh edition of Canadian Family Lawin 2017. The citation of relevant judicial decisions in the eighth edition of Canadian Family Lawis current to 27 February 2020 but the text incorporates legislative changes to the Divorce Act, RSC 1985, c 3 (2nd Supp) that were enacted by SC 2019, c 16, which received Royal Assent on 21 June 2019. Many of the most important legislative changes were originally scheduled to come into force on 1 July 2020 but COVID-19 led to a Ministerial decision on 5 June 2020 to further defer their commencement date to 1 March 2021. The most fundamental legislative changes replace the loaded terminology of "custody" and "access" orders in favour of "parenting orders" that focus on parenting time and decision-making authority and "contact orders" with respect to third parties. They also establish a detailed non-exhaustive list of criteria to assist courts in determining the "best interests of the child"; call upon prospective litigants and their lawyers to address the feasibility of using out-of-court family dispute resolution services; introduce measures to effectively assist courts in addressing family violence; and create a framework for situations where one parent wishes to relocate a child of the marriage. Chapter 10 of the eighth edition of Canadian Family Lawprovides a detailed description of these legislative changes relating to parenting disputes and the authors venture their opinion concerning the ongoing impact of judicial rulings under the former statutory regime. Additional changes, primarily of a jurisdictional nature, are also included in the amending legislation. Those jurisdictional changes that are scheduled to come into force on 1 March 2021 are examined in Chapter 7 of the eighth edition of Canadian Family Law. Because Chapter 10 of the eighth edition of Canadian Family Lawis confined to discussing legislative changes that will not come into force until 1 March 2021, Irwin Law will provide electronic access to Chapter 10 of the seventh edition of Canadian Family Law, which defines the governing legal criteria until 1 March 2021. Although courts cannot give effect to the aforementioned legislative changes with respect to parenting and contact orders before 1 March 2021, lawyers and mediators who are engaged in assisting divorcing or divorced parties to resolve parenting disputes are not subject to the same rigid constraint and they may look to the amending legislation for insights into the drafting of appropriate settlements. And because the jurisdictional analysis in Chapter 7 of the eighth edition of Canadian Family Lawwill also be inoperative before 1 March 2021, Irwin Law will provide electronic access to the relevant pages (179-191) in Chapter 7 of the seventh edition of Canadian Family Law, which define the governing jurisdictional criteria until 1 March 2021. Canadian Family Lawwill be of particular interest to judges, legal practitioners, mediators, arbitrators, and other professionals who require an understanding of the law relating to families. It also provides a unique source of information for law students and their professors as well as members of the public who face domestic crises and the threat of marriage breakdown. The eighth edition of Canadian Family Lawis a companion volume to Payne and Payne, Child Support Guidelines in Canada, 2020. Previous editions of both of these texts have been cited in hundreds of judicial decisions across Canada, including the Supreme Court of Canada and appellate courts from coast to coast. Canadian Family Lawhas also been adopted as required reading in family law courses presented by several colleges and universities across Canada.
