As a result of his own and other law teachers' experience in the classroom, and in order to take into account the many new developments in the field of criminal law Professor Friedland has made substantial additions and has reworked much of the material within the text for this new edition. The book covers all aspects of the law from pre-trial to sentencing procedures, illustrated by cases, articles, notes, and diagrams.
Specific examples are set out, including many of the relevant documents from the well-known Truscott case. Although it is primarily designed for use in law schools, all members of the Canadian legal profession will find this volume a valuable source of reference.
