"L'objet principal du présent ouvrage est de susciter la réflexion au sujet de l'aménagement linguistique tel qu'il a été vécu au Nouveau-Brunswick, seule province officiellement bilingue au Canada. L'auteur cherche à mettre en lumière l'effectivité des droits linguistiques ainsi que le rôle qu'exercent le législateur et les tribunaux en ce domaine. En outre, il fait ressortir la nécessité de l'action en justice afin de faire respecter des droits qui sont de nature constitutionnelle et quasi constitutionnelle".--Résumé de l'éditeur

"The aim of this text is to provide a revealing background to the law of torts for its better understanding and appreciation by those who find themselves somewhat confused as to the true nature and scope of this part of the law and would like some clarification. This book consists of a number of independent essays that raise and discuss ideas which permeate the modern content and function of the law of torts. They also provide an historical context that allows the reader to better understand tort law concepts. Their purpose is to stimulate the interest of the read and encourage them to dive further into this area of the law. As such, this text is broader in scope than a standard primer of the law of torts express in simple language."-- Provided by publisher.

'As this study will show, a significant proportion of persons with disabilities, aged 15 or older, report experiencing bullying, encountering barriers and being excluded at school. Students with disabilities are lacking the institutional support, the accommodation, the funding and the programs and infrastructure required to access and benefit from the same quality of education as their fellow students. Moreover, students with disabilities are grappling with social exclusion, avoidance and bullying. These issues are the reality for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students with disabilities alike-whether they are living in remote areas of Canada, on First Nations reserves, or in cities and urban centres across the country. The data contained in this report is the compilation of data from both the 2012 Canadian Survey on Disability as well as consultations with expert organizations from across Canada. This report is the second in a series that the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), in collaboration with

"How do judges sentence? In particular, how important is judicial discretion in sentencing? Sentencing guidelines are often said to promote consistency, but is consistency in sentencing achievable or even desirable? Whilst the passing of a sentence is arguably the most public stage of the criminal justice process, there have been few attempts to examine judicial perceptions of, and attitudes towards, the sentencing process. Through interviews with Scottish judges and by presenting a comprehensive review and analysis of recent scholarship on sentencing ? including a comparative study of UK, Irish and Commonwealth sentencing jurisprudence ? this book explores these issues to present a systematic theory of sentencing. Through an integration of the concept of equity as particularised justice, the Aristotelian concept of phronesis (or 'practical wisdom'), the concept of value pluralism, and the focus of appellate courts throughout the Commonwealth on sentencing by way of 'instinctive synthesis', it is argued that judicial sentencing methodology is best viewed in terms of a phronetic synthesis of the relevant facts and circumstances of the particular case. The author concludes that sentencing is best conceptualised as a form of case-orientated, concrete and intuitive decision making; one that seeks individualisation through judicial recognition of the profoundly contextualised nature of the process" --publisher's description.
