Constitutional Law of Canada has been the classic text in its field for decades, and the one to which scholars, practitioners and students turn for authoritative guidance on the complex issues and concepts which comprise Canadian constitutional law. Wade K. Wright assumed authorship of the text in 2021, stepping into the shoes of the late Peter W. Hogg, the founding author.
The 2024 Student Edition is an abridged version of the two-volume looseleaf 5th Edition, which is revised annually by the author. The Student Edition contains 35 of the 60 chapters from the loose-leaf that are most likely to be useful to students. For ease of reference, the title of each of the omitted chapters is listed in the Preface to this edition. The Student Edition includes the Index found in the loose-leaf edition.
Its softcover, smaller size, portability and lower price makes the Student Edition the ideal starting point for the study of constitutional law by students accross Canada and beyond, and is a valuable addition to any course about constitutional law.
Organized into three parts (Basic Concepts, Distribution of Power, and Civil Liberties), Constitutional Law of Canada, 2024 Student Edition gives you:
- Easy-to-understand commentary that sheds light on the meaning of constitutional provisions as interpreted and applied by the courts
- A broad perspective that includes references to the constitutional law of the United States and other Commonwealth countries

- A comprehensive and updated bibliography and an index that is accurate for the whole of this new edition
