Do Crime Victims Have Rights? (CANADA)
As I say in the introduction to this product, "The road to an official recognition that Canadian victims of crime have rights has been a long and rocky one." The Canadian Victims Bill of Rights Act only came into existence in 2015, creating four areas in which victims' rights to information, protection, restitution and participation in the process (by making your views about decisions made by law professionals) were established. Your students' assignment is to investigate these four areas more d

I begin this product with a short examination of 'the CSI effect', which has varying degrees of support for its validity amongst lawyers.

Your students are presented with terminology; several types of evidence; and the necessity of preserving its integrity in a trial setting, before being pres

What is Restorative Justice? (CANADA)
Restorative justice, like mediation, is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Your students will learn the basics about RJ before being given two assignment options, depending on whether or not a formal version of the process is being used in your school.

How Do Laws Get Made in Canada?
This product's title is a bit of misnomer: while it does review, briefly, the legislative process in both the House of Commons and the Senate, and makes clear that the same process is used in each provincial/territorial legislative assembly, it goes further, looking at the purpose of laws in all societies, i.e., to make life good and safe for its citizens. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and some of the freedoms it affords Canadians, is also mentioned, but in counterpoint, the slides before
