Reviews

‘This volume is a superb structural analysis of how Canada’s courts were, and can be, used as state instruments of tyranny. It represents a number of fascinating and valuable questions.’
*BC Studies March 2016*

‘Excellent introduction by the editors… Wright, Tucker, and Binnie have done all Canadians a significant service in continuing the work started by Greenwood in the 1990s.’
