This volume provides descriptive and interpretive insights into the ‘living’ usage of language and other semiotic modes in building and performing the law across academic, professional and institutional contexts, where issues arise from the meaning and function of legal texts, discourse and genre in constituting and enabling conventions, albeit dynamically, and account for the socially and (inter)culturally influenced forms of discursive actions and practices. The twenty contributions included here weave significant contexts and situations for legal discourse and practice into a tight thread, and justify selected topic areas through a variety of approaches, frameworks, methodologies, and procedures. As such, this publication is multidimensional and multiperspectival in its design and implementation of key issues confronting discursive actions and practices of the law, and provides an invaluable resource for academics in a wider range of disciplines, including linguistics, applied linguistics and communication studies. It will also be of interest to students of interdisciplinary discourse analysis.

Criminal Law in Canada is a core introductory text intended to give students the practical understanding of criminal law that they require to become successful criminal justice system practitioners. Criminal Law in Canada uses an integrated case-oriented approach to appeal to students. It discusses the general principles underlying Canadian criminal law in the context of specific cases decided by the courts. By combining the study of general principles with a close analysis of specific cases, students learn to apply the principles of criminal law to concrete, factual situations that they will face in everyday life or read about in the media.
