Canada, law, legal systems, common law, civil law, aboriginal legal systems, oral traditions
Description
An account of the resource
This section examines the legal systems that exist in Canada with a particular view to exploring the intersection of these systems with Canadian senses of identity.
Canada has three primary legal traditions: indigenous law, civil law, and common law. Indigenous law is a legal system based on the values of indigenous persons and includes the use of oral traditions in a central way. Common law is a legal system which derives law from judicial precedent. Civil law, in contrast, adjudicates civil matters and is based solely on codified statute.
In this section, we emphasize the interactions and conflicts among Canadian legal systems, as well as the result of said conflict in the justice system. Finally, we examine recommendations to improve congruence among the systems especially vis-à-vis indigenous law.

Description
An account of the resource
From the website: <br /><blockquote>"As a legacy of the colonisation of North America by France and Great Britain, two legal traditions co-exist in Canada – civil law in Quebec and common law in all other provinces and territories. The Department of Justice is committed to respecting both legal systems, in both official languages, to ensure federal legislation is adequately applied everywhere in Canada."</blockquote>
<br />This website contains materials relevant to understanding Canadian bijuralism and tracks the efforts of the Federal Government of Canada to harmonize law across the civil and common law systems and through French and English.

Description
An account of the resource
This set of FAQs seeks to clarify the concepts of legal dualism and bilingual bisystemism. <br /><br />From this report: <br /><blockquote>"Legal dualism is the explicative theory built on the coexistence of two legal systems of private law within the Canadian legal framework; bilingual bisystemism relates to the unique coexistence of the civil law and common law legal systems within Canada, and the simultaneous or concomitant presence of two official languages."</blockquote>
