The Law of Evidence
Paciocco and Stuesser s "Law of Evidence," now in its 5th edition, is the most versatile text available on the Canadian law of evidence. The text has been cited and relied upon hundreds of times by courts of all levels across Canada, in both civil and criminal cases. It has also been adapted by the National Judicial Institute for their electronic bench book for trial judges. The new fifth edition carries on the practice in earlier editions of using new appellate level authorities to illustrate the law. It also chronicles significant changes in the law of self-incrimination and hearsay, as well as providing a concise and organized guide for dealing with section 24(2) exclusionary applications in the "Grant" era.

This book, by David M. Paciocco and Lee Stuesser, is Canada's leading text in evidentiary law in criminal and civil cases. For nearly two decades, it has been relied upon by judges, practitioners, and scholars. In the newest edition of this book, the authors continue their practice of explaining and illustrating the law of evidence.
Charter Justice in Canadian Criminal Law
"The fifth edition had to be substantially revised to reflect the impact of recent Supreme Court of Canada bellweather decisions in Grant and the companion decisions in Harrison and Suberu. These decisions require a new approach to the meaning of detention for Charter purposes and to the remedy of exclusion of evidence under section 24(2) of the Charter. Much of the voluminous prior jurisprudence on section 24(2) over the past 27 years relating to the meaning and consequences of conscripting the accused in violation of the Charter is now of little moment. New clarifications and new questions are identified."--Pub. desc.
