Constitutional Law has been thoroughly revised and updated to take account of developments in the field since the publication of the second edition in 2002. Since that time, the Supreme Court of Canada has continued to develop the jurisprudence in all areas of constitutional law, particularly the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Aboriginal rights. This book aims to provide both lawyers and students with a general introduction to, and overview of, the basic elements of the Canadian constitution. It should also interest lawyers who encounter constitutional issues and problems in their daily practice.

Patrick J. Monahan is professor of law and associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School, and the author of four books and numerous articles on Canadian Constitutional Law and politics. He advised the Ontario Government throughout the Meech Lake Accord negotiations from 1986 to 1990 and served as an adviser to the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada during the negotiations leading to the Charlottetown Accord. Professor Monahan is a frequent commentator in the national media on legal, constitutional, and political issues.
