Criminal Procedure: Cases and Materials is the first comprehensive and truly practical treatment of criminal procedure in Canada. Unlike other texts in this area, this book serves as both a casebook and a textbook, offering case summaries and analysis, as well as detailed insights into common activities within a criminal court.

The author team—whose experience includes decades of teaching and practice—offers insight into Charter concerns as well as real-world courtroom topics like plea bargains, elections, and pre-trial issues. Additionally, each chapter concludes with questions that encourage the reader to think critically and engage with the material.

This practice-oriented approach will not only educate readers on the law and various legal principles, but also prepare them to actually enter a courtroom.

• Summaries and extracts of recent cases, including: R v Antic, 2017 SCC 27; R v Jones, 2017 SCC 60; R v Cody, 2017 SCC 31; and R v Oland, 2017 SCC 17
• Problems at the end of each chapter to help readers reflect on the content (answer sheet available for instructors)
