The Charter of Rights and Freedoms

by Robert J. Sharpe, Kent Roach, Katherine E. Swinton

No other Canadian book provides such an accessible yet thorough and objective account of the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms." This edition is published to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the enactment of the "Charter."
The text has been throughly updated to reflect "Charter" jurisprudence since publication of the first edition in 1998. It covers the history of the "Charter," legitimacy of judicial review, limitation of "Charter" rights, "Charter" litigation, language rights, equality rights, and "Charter" rights of the criminally accused.
