Constitutional Law of Canada has been the classic text in its field for decades, and the one to which scholars, practitioners and students turn for authoritative guidance on the complex issues and concepts which comprise Canadian constitutional law. Wade K. Wright assumed authorship of the text in 2021, stepping into the shoes of the late Peter W. Hogg, the founding author.
Constitutional Law Of Canada Student Edition Peter Hogg
The 2022 Student Edition is an abridged version of the two-volume looseleaf 5th Edition, which is revised annually by the author. The Student Edition contains 35 of the 60 chapters from the loose-leaf that are most likely to be useful to students. For ease of reference, the title of each of the omitted chapters is listed in the Preface to this edition. The Student Edition includes the Index found in the loose-leaf edition.
Its softcover, smaller size, portability and lower price makes the Student Edition the ideal starting point for the study of constitutional law by students accross Canada and beyond, and is a valuable addition to any course about constitutional law.
In his new role, Wright will be responsible for annually updating Constitutional Law of Canada, which is published as both a two-volume, loose-leaf book (comprising 60 chapters) and as an abridged annual student edition.
This edition includes all relevant Canadian constitutional legislation, as well as the American Bill of Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, a more complete and up-to-date bibliography, and an index that is accurate for the whole of this edition.
