Substantive Law Procedural Law (Rights and obligations) (Steps involved to protect rights) Public Law Private or Civil Law (Criminal, Constitutional, Administrative) (Family, Contract, Tort,Property, Labour Law)

(Word Association): English (English Law = Common Law = Case Law) Common Law is based on the Rule of Precedent: This rule came about when a case and it’s decision became common knowledge in the English legal community. All judges who heard cases with similar facts would give similar decisions. Citations Common Law was recorded and became known as case law. To locate certain cases Citations are essential.

(Others): Hammurabi, Moses and Mosaic Law, Greeks, Romans and the French (main basis for our system). Canadian Law is based on the English system while Quebec Law is based on the French Civil Code.

The term "jurisprudence“ means literally and traditionally "practical wisdom about law," the intellectual capacity to frame and apply laws according to sound theoretical principles. Jurisprudence is the study of the law. (Students of law need to understand the history, sociology, geography, economics and more….to understand the deeper meaning of the law. This deeper knowledge helps to predict the future of our laws).

In groups of 3-4 discuss one of the following issues and report your consensus to the class. For all of your discussions provide the evidence that proves that your prediction is accurate. - Will the age for receiving The Canadian Pension Plan be increased to 70? Why or why not? - Will the Canadian stance on Abortion remain the same? Why or why not? What is the stance now? - What parameters will the Canadian government establish for Euthanasia? - Will the legal drinking age be raised or lowered from 19 in Ontario. What is the evidence that supports your opinion? - Will smoking be completely banned in Canada? Why or why not?

- What are three responsibilities of citizenship? - How many electoral districts are there in Canada? - Why is the Constitution Act, 1982 important in Canadian history? - What part of the Constitution legally protects the rights of all Canadians? - Name two fundamental freedoms protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms? - Name three legal rights protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms? - Which province is the only officially bilingual province?

Has anyone in the room? - Recently read a book about the law or relating to law? - Followed a television/Netflix show about the law? - Had a driving related offence (i.e. ticket)? - Ever signed a contract? - Talked with a relative working in the legal field (administering justice) - Studied a case of wrongful conviction in Canada? - Thought about becoming a police officer?
