LEGAL SYSTEM
Works in this area provide information about the foundations and workings of our legal sys-
tem, including Parliament, legislatures, courts, boards, and tribunals, etc. A number of titles
deal with the “criminal justice” system, which should be viewed as a subset of the legal system
in that it is essentially concerned with matters related only to criminal law and punishment
and not the legal system in its entirety. Related topics: CIVIL PROCEDURE, CRIMINAL LAW,
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, and SENTENCING.
SYSTÈME JURIDIQUE
Cette rubrique n’est pas à proprement parler une division du droit mais une expression qui
permet d’étudier le droit globalement. On trouve dans cette catégorie des ouvrages généraux
et d’introduction sur le droit canadien ou québécois et une présentation des principales institu-
tions juridiques. Voir aussi : PROCÉDURE CIVILE ; CRIMINEL (DROIT) ; PROCÉDURE PÉNALE
et SENTENCES.
