"This book is the second edition of our essential guide to all of the issues that Indigenous people (both offenders and victims) face in the criminal justice system. Jonathan explores the major inquiries and cases, Gladue Court and reports, sentencing circles, and a host of emerging issues. Major updates are being written for Chapters 2, 5, and 6. Jonathan will be adding a new chapter on Indigenous offenders and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)."-- Provided by publisher

« La 33e édition du Traité général de preuve et de procédure pénales 2026 comporte plusieurs modifications ainsi que de nombreux ajouts afin d’actualiser l’exposé du droit de la preuve et de la procédure pénale. Encore une fois cette année, notre objectif d’offrir aux intervenants du système judiciaire ainsi qu’aux universitaires un vaste regard sur le droit applicable en matière de preuve et procédure pénales est atteint. En plus d’offrir une substantielle mise à jour législative et jurisprudentielle, le Traité propose cette année une profonde refonte de la section portant sur le droit d’être jugé dans un délai raisonnable prévu à l’alinéa 11b) de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés. Le Traité incorpore également les enseignements émanant des nombreux arrêts rendus par la Cour suprême du Canada en droit criminel au cours de la dernière année, notamment en ce qui concerne la preuve relative aux infractions d’ordre sexuel, le droit d’être jugé dans un délai raisonnable, l’aptitude à subir un procès, la détermination de la peine, la constitutionnalité de peines minimales, la preuve du résultat d’analyses d’échantillons d’haleine et les directives au jury. Les douze derniers mois ayant été particulièrement chargés, la Cour suprême du Canada s’est également prononcée concernant les pouvoirs d’arrestation sans mandat d’un agent de la paix, la preuve d’antécédents judiciaires, une exception au secret professionnel de l’avocat et, enfin, la manière d’apprécier la preuve testimoniale pour conclure à l’innocence ou à la culpabilité. Par souci d’efficience et de cohérence, le Traité ne s’attarde qu’aux arrêts de la Cour suprême du Canada et des cours d’appel provinciales. Afin d’assurer le travail d’édition, la date de tombée est le 31 mai de chaque année, tant pour la jurisprudence que la législation. Cette année, nous avons exceptionnellement intégré l’arrêt de la Cour suprême rendu le 5 juin 2026. Concernant la jurisprudence issue des cours d’appel provinciales, la date de tombée a légèrement été devancée afin d’assurer la publication pour la rentrée judiciaire. À l’instar des éditions antérieures, nous tenons à rappeler que bien que le Traité propose un vaste aperçu du droit en vigueur pour susciter la réflexion et inviter le lecteur à effectuer une recherche approfondie au besoin, il ne saurait apporter à lui seul une réponse exhaustive dans tous les contextes. »-- Site de l'éditeur

"In Algonquian folklore, the wetiko is a cannibal monster or spirit that possesses a person, rendering them monstrous. In The Wetiko Legal Principles, Hadley Friedland explores how the concept of a wetiko can be used to address the unspeakable happenings that endanger the lives of many Indigenous children. Friedland critically analyses Cree and Anishinabek stories and oral histories alongside current academic and legal literature to find solutions to the frightening rates of intimate violence and child victimization in Indigenous communities. She applies common-law legal analysis to these Indigenous stories and creates a framework for analysing stories in terms of the legal principles that they contain. The author reveals similarities in thinking and theorizing around the dynamics of wetikos and offenders in cases of child sexual victimization. Friedland's respectful, strength-based, trauma-informed approach builds on the work of John Borrows and is the first to argue for a legal category derived from Indigenous legal traditions. The Wetiko Legal Principles provides much needed direction for effectively applying Indigenous legal principles to contemporary social issues."--Provided by publisher.

"This book is meant to be a clear and authoritative statement of the law with respect to the Gladue analysis for the sentencing of Indigenous offenders. We describe the book as both a "bench book" and an "implementation guide", with the specific objective of setting out all the relevant law in one place to make it easier to apply in practice. In spite of the fact that the Gladue decision was released some 20 years ago, appellate courts still end up reviewing many lower court decisions for failure to properly apply section 718.2(e) and many issues with its implementation are still evolving, such as the role played by Indigenous peoples' "traditional conceptions of justice" and the amount of detail required of Gladue reports. Overall, it is our hope that this book will lead to courts better applying section 718.2(e), which should lead to less court time spent on appealing those lower court decisions and ultimately fairer sentences that are determined more efficiently."-- Provided by publisher.

"Canada's Indigenous Constitution reflects on the nature and sources of law in Canada, beginning with the conviction that the Canadian legal system has helped to engender the high level of wealth and security enjoyed by people across the country. However, longstanding disputes about the origins, legitimacy, and applicability of certain aspects of the legal system have led John Borrows to argue that Canada's constitution is incomplete without a broader acceptance of Indigenous legal traditions., With characteristic richness and eloquence, John Borrows explores legal traditions, the role of governments and courts, and the prospect of a multi-juridical legal culture, all with a view to understanding and improving legal processes in Canada. He discusses the place of individuals, families, and communities in recovering and extending the role of Indigenous law within both Indigenous communities and Canadian society more broadly."--pub. desc.

This document is a final report and list of recommendations following a six-month review of the problem of "non-compliance" with rules and standards set out for election officers to follow in federal elections.
