Public Law: Cases, Commentary, and Analysis, 4th Edition

Craig Forcese, Adam Dodek, Philip Bryden, Richard Haigh, Mary Liston, Constance MacIntosh
Available

Public Law: Cases, Commentary, and Analysis, 4th Edition is the only text of its kind devoted exclusively to public law in Canada. Serving as a primer on the subject, this title will educate students about the importance of statutes and regulations both as forms of law and as political responses to pressing issues in Canadian society. This text demonstrates concepts, principles, and theory in a direct and accessible manner, contextualized with carefully selected case excerpts. Cases are presented with insightful author commentary, which offers a compelling, cohesive introduction to the subject of public law.

This edition reflects up-to-date legislation and cases, including changes to Canadian administrative law resulting from the Supreme Court’s decision in Vavilov et al.
