The Law Library has published a new Libguide, “Key Legal Treatises and Textbooks by Subject” which provides the leading treatises and textbooks on many different topics in law. This libguide is an excellent starting point for finding key secondary sources on many of the main subjects of law, as textbooks offer a broad overview of a subject, while treatises offer an in-depth analysis including detailed footnotes on leading cases and scholarly sources.
As always, feel free to stop by the Law Library Reference Desk or email lawref@uvic.ca for research help.
On October 29, 2018, Dr. Sarah Morales published an article in the Canadian Lawyer about the Mikisew Cree Nation v. Canada 2018 SCC 40. Her article discusses how UNDRIP should have been applied to the judgment. A reason for why UNDRIP should have been applied is Canada’s stated commitment to adopt and implement UNDRIP. This commitment is being shown by Bill C-262, which has moved through the House of Commons, and is now on its second reading in the Senate.
See our previous blog post for more information on the Mikisew judgment.
Below are a selection of Sarah Morales’s publications on UNDRIP.
