Apex Courts and the Common Law, edited by Paul Daly.
K 3370 A64 2019 / 1^st Floor.

• This collection of articles explores the role that apex (superior) courts have on the development and evolution of systems of common law across the world. By combining core legal concepts and academic scrutiny, this book analyses the unique capacity of high level courts in influencing and directing the legal system through jurisprudence. Furthermore, this work explores how apex courts interpret their own role and purpose and how their creation of a body of judicial decisions contributes to the establishment of overarching and unifying legal principles. The relationship between apex courts and the common law is analysed in the context of human rights, public law and private law.

Canadian Indigenous Peoples and Criminal Jury Trials: Remediating Inequities by Manarin.
KF 9680 M36 2019 / Practice Collection, 2^nd Floor.

• In this book, Manarin makes the connection between the overrepresentation of Indigenous Peoples in Canadian prisons to the persistence of a jury selection process which perpetuates rather than dismantles stereotypes and biases that unfairly inform the decisions of adjudicative bodies. While there are many political factors that contribute to the high incarceration rate of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, the author identifies and explores the benefits that a more impartial, diverse and representative jury can have on these rates. With chapters that critique and analyze the role that “peremptory challenge”, “challenge for cause” and the disqualification of jurors because of criminal antecedents have on the production of verdicts, this work offers many solutions and remedies to a criminal justice system which uniquely disadvantages the indigenous Peoples of North America.
