Professor Paul Emond published the first Emond casebook in 1978. That text, and the ones that
followed, were soon adopted into classes at the University of Toronto, Osgoode Hall Law School,
and other Canadian common law programs.
Since then, Emond has established itself as one of Canada’s leading independent legal
publishers. In 40 years of publishing, Emond has expanded to serve college, university, and
professional markets. Our catalogue includes textbooks, casebooks, exam prep resources,
CPD-accredited video lectures, and legal handbooks that customers can rely on from backpack
to briefcase.
Emond titles have received praise from various publications including The Globe and Mail,
Queen’s Law Journal, Canadian Law Library Review, and
Blue Line Magazine. We have received several industry awards, including the 2020 and
2018 Hugh Lawford Award for Excellence in Legal Publishing, the 2012 Donald Smiley Prize, and
the 2011 Donner Prize. Three of our books have been recognized with the Walter Owen Book Prize,
including Indigenous People and the Criminal Justice System
in 2019, Search and Seizure in 2021, and
Modern Criminal Evidence in 2023.
