Law, Politics and the Judicial Process in Canada. 3rd ed.

H. Graham Rawlinson is a corporate lawyer with the international law
firm Torys in Toronto. He is coauthor of The Canadian 100: The 100 Most
Influential Canadians of the 20th Century.

Professor F.L. (Ted) Morton of the University of Calgary has provided a
useful update to this popular work. Reconciling judicial review and
constitutional democracy is the focus of each of the 13 chapters.

A well-selected balance of excerpts from primary documents and leading
commentators provides comprehensive coverage of the intersection between
law and politics in Canada. Pioneers in the field, like Peter Russell
and W.R. Lederman, share space with more contemporary authors, offering
the reader an excellent introduction to what really matters on the
subject. Sharply written introductions to each chapter betray Morton’s
conservative views and Western Canadian sympathies, but even readers
jarred by his point of view will concede that these short essays are
useful departure points for the edited selections that follow.

Covering topics from the making of the Constitution to current debates
about access to justice, this is a valuable resource for anyone
interested in law and politics in Canada.
