Professor Errol Mendes and co-editor Stéphane Beaulac (Université de Montréal) have released the 6th edition of Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms / Charte canadienne des droits et libertés (LexisNexis). With its bilingual and bijural approach, the book continues to serve as a go-to resource for legal professionals and scholars seeking a thorough understanding of how the Charter operates across Canada. The latest edition brings the scholarship up to date with analysis of recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions, new insights into the Notwithstanding Clause, and expanded discussion of Aboriginal Treaty Rights. It also features a prologue by the Chief Justice of Canada, the Honourable Richard Wagner.
Bringing together contributions from more than 30 constitutional experts across the country, the book offers a comprehensive look at how the Charter continues to transform Canadian law. It remains an essential resource for practitioners, judges, policymakers, scholars, and students navigating one of the most important pillars of Canada’s legal system.
Congratulations to Professor Mendes!
