Issues in Canadian Law and Society

This book leads readers into the field of law and society through an analysis of most relevant issues that are dramatically transforming our world. Using an approach known as plain language legal writing, this book presents these in a clear and accessible manner, while also presenting the necessary background information and supporting facts to give readers an in-depth understanding of the topics covered. Taken together, each chapter contributes to building a base of knowledge of both legal and social processes of change more generally, a base that helps people prepare for a complex and fast-evolving future. The book finishes with a focus on careers to build on in both law and sociology.
