Study Notes
Law Final Review - Unit 1: Legal Heritage
- Divisions of Law: Canadian law is divided into substantive and procedural law, with public and private law as further categories.
- Substantive Law covers the relationships between citizens and the government, using statutes (written laws) and precedent (previous court decisions).
- Procedural Law outlines legal processes, determining civil and criminal court proceedings.
- Public Law centers on criminal law (Crown vs. defendant, guilty beyond reasonable doubt), the structure and functions of the federal government (constitutional law), and interactions between citizens and government agencies (administrative law).
- Private Law encompasses property law, contract law, labor law, and tort law (general wrongdoings, except family matters), focusing on legal relationships between individuals.
- Laws and Rules: Laws are all-encompassing and apply to everyone, while rules are specific to activities or groups. Both promote order and ensure the quality of life. The harm principle guides laws by limiting actions that harm others.
- Law vs. Rule: Laws are broad-reaching and apply uniformly to all members of society throughout time, crafted by different levels of government. Rules are more narrowly defined, governing specific activities where only participants are bound by them.
- Legal Reasoning: Laws reflect societal values and beliefs. Patterns and commonalities in laws and rules highlight how they promote safety and efficiency.
- Passing a Bill Through Parliament: Bill becomes law through multiple readings (First, Second, and Third Reading), consideration in committees, and finally approval by the Senate.
Law and Government
- John Locke and Government: Locke believed in limited government, where the majority rules but does not infringe on natural rights (life, liberty, and property). All have equal standing in a natural state with laws regulating human conduct.
- State of Nature: Before government, humans are free and equal, governed by the law of nature emphasizing self-preservation and the rights of others.
- Natural Law/Rights: In natural law, human rights and behaviors are fundamental and unchangeable, while civil liberties are bestowed and enforced by government.
Additional Topics
- Laws protect property and safety: They help maintain order in society and resolve disputes through processes like mediation and courts.
- Need for Laws: Laws are important for mediating differences, solving problems, and reflecting societal values and beliefs. They also provide a framework for social consistency and mitigate conflict. This is done via codification of legal rights into codified statements or formal documents.
- Judicial Independence and impartiality: Courts are separate from political influence to ensure fair dealings based on evidence and facts. Judicial accountability is also a key element of a properly operating judiciary, responsible for their actions and decisions.
