Constitutional politics in Canada after the Charter<br />

Liberalism, Communitarianism, and Systemism<br />

Patrick James<br />

Since the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was<br />

introduced, Canada has experienced more than<br />

twenty-five years of constitutional politics and<br />

countless debates about the future of Canada.<br />

There has, however, been no systematic attempt<br />

to identify general theories about Canada’s<br />

constitutional evolution. Patrick James corrects<br />

this oversight. By adding clarity to familiar<br />

debates, this succinct assessment of major<br />

writings on constitutional politics sharpens<br />

our vision of the past – and the future – of the<br />

Canadian federation.<br />

International Studies at the University of<br />

The british Columbia Court of Appeal<br />

the First Hundred Years<br />

Christopher Moore<br />

Courts of law at once reflect and shape the<br />

society in which they reside and dispense justice.<br />

To mark the 2010 centenary of the British<br />

Columbia Court of Appeal, this book presents an<br />

institutional, jurisprudential, and biographical<br />

account of the court and its evolving role in the<br />

province. Richly illustrated and replete with<br />

group portraits of judges and accounts of key<br />

cases, this authoritative history explores how<br />

the court came into being, how it has operated,<br />

and who its judges have been. In the process,<br />

it tells the story of how the court has shaped<br />

– and been shaped by – the social, political,<br />

and legal development of British Columbia.<br />
