Canadian Law and Business Studies presents a succinct overview of law and business for students at an introductory level. Organized into 20 chapters—which include topics such as rights and freedoms, privacy, confidentiality, land claims, and the environment—this book is designed to be a compact guide of the most essential legal rules in point form. It engages readers by delving into contemporary topics such as online pirating, cell phone contracts, vaccine mandates, careless driving, social media, sniffer dogs, international intrigue, Kyoto (1997), and Glasgow (2021).
The book covers a wide range of discussion areas including Indigenous rights, partnerships, companies, oppression, securities, insolvency, negligence, contracts, property, mortgages, copyright, employment, consumerism, discrimination, harassment, and world trade. It is well suited for instructors and students interested in law and social justice, general business, or business administration, and for those studying to qualify as law clerks or paralegals. Each chapter is concluded with an accessible essay that highlights and consolidates key takeaways for the reader.

“I can confidently say that the authors have written a unique overview of law that combines thoroughness with brevity and traditional legal principles with current interests. They have made law understandable and enjoyable without compromising legal competencies. And they convincingly demonstrate that the lines among general, business, and consumer law need to be permeable. Readers will be fascinated by how many personalities and icons they know have become caught up in some aspect of the law.”
—M. Niki Kanavas, Toronto Lawyer and Law Instructor
“Canadian Law and Business Studies fills a needed educational void by examining basic procedural and substantive law issues in clear point form. The authors deliver an exciting treatise for anyone at any level interested in Canadian Business Law.”
—Craig Allen, Ontario Lawyer and Instructor of Law and Business Administration, University of Windsor
