Course Description:
This course is an introduction to Canadian criminal law based on the syllabus prepared by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, National Committee on Accreditation. Core principles of Canadian criminal law come from the same common law roots as US criminal law but there are significant differences ranging from jurisdiction to the application of constitutional law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
