This course explores a range of contemporary legal issues and how they are addressed
in both Canadian and international law. Students will develop an understanding of the
principles of Canadian and international law and of issues related to human rights and
freedoms, conflict resolution, and criminal, environmental, and workplace law, both in
Canada and internationally. Students will apply the concepts of legal thinking and the
legal studies inquiry process, and will develop legal reasoning skills, when investigating
these and other issues in both Canadian and international contexts. Prerequisite: Any university or university/college preparation course in Canadian and
world studies, English, or social sciences and humanities.
