Indictment: The Criminal Justice System on Trial
Benjamin Perrin
Based on first-hand interviews with survivors, people who have committed offences, and others on the frontlines, Indictment puts the Canadian criminal justice system on trial and proposes a bold new vision of transformative justice.
#MeToo. Black Lives Matter. Decriminalize Drugs. No More Stolen Sisters. Stop Stranger Attacks.
Do we need more cops or to defund the police? Harm reduction or treatment? Tougher sentences or prison abolition? The debate about Canada’s criminal justice system has rarely been so polarized – or so in need of fresh ideas.
Indictment brings the heartrending and captivating stories of survivors and people who have committed offences to the forefront to help us understand why the criminal justice system is facing such an existential crisis.
Benjamin Perrin draws on his expertise as a lawyer, former top criminal justice advisor to the prime minister, and law clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada to investigate the criminal justice system itself. Indictment critiques the system from a trauma-informed perspective, examining its treatment of victims of crime, Indigenous people and Black Canadians, people with substance use and mental health disorders, and people experiencing homelessness, poverty, and unemployment.
Perrin also shares insights from others on the frontlines, including prosecutors and defence lawyers, police chiefs, Indigenous leaders, victim support workers, corrections officers, public health experts, gang outreach workers, prisoner and victims’ rights advocates, criminologists, psychologists, and leading trauma experts. Bringing forward the voices of marginalized people, along with their stories of survival and resilience, Indictment shows that a better way is possible.

A Property Law Reader: Cases, Questions, and Commentary, 5th ed.
Douglas C. Harris, Jeremy de Beer, Patricia Farnese, and Tenille Brown
The new fifth edition of Ziff’s classic A Property Law Reader: Cases, Questions and Commentary with the new author team of Harris, de-Beer, Brown, and Farnese features 12 chapters of national coverage. Highlights of the fifth edition include perspectives on racialized property, relational approaches in property theory and Indigenous law and Indigenous legal traditions as a source of law in Canada; a new section on disputes focusing on the doctrine of “tree trespass”; new content on the law and maxims of equity; new materials on limits to proprietary freedom; and much more!
An innovative collection of teaching materials offers a multi-faceted approach to the study of property law in Canada. Starting with an exploration of the meaning of property and its philosophical foundations, the book canvasses a broad range of fundamental concepts relating to both real and personal property. However, this work goes much further than that. It examines the interplay of property rights with pressing social questions, including those affecting race, class, and gender. These issues are examined in a variety of contexts and from a range of perspectives. A Property Law Reader invites an assessment of whether ancient legal doctrines remain of value within Canadian society. Though drawing on the law's deeply embedded history, the book seeks to provide a thoughtful treatment of contemporary property law and policy.

Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance: Multidisciplinary Perspectives
Hoi Kong and Tanya Monforte
The inaction of nation states and international bodies has posed significant risks to the environment. By contrast, cities are sites of action and innovation. In Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance, contributors researching in the areas of law, urban planning, geography, and philosophy identify approaches for tackling many of the most challenging environmental problems facing cities today.
Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance facilitates two strands of dialogue about climate change. First, it integrates legal perspectives into policy debates about urban sustainability and governance, from which law has typically stood apart. Second, it brings case studies from Quebec into a rare conversation with examples drawn from elsewhere in Canada.
The collection proposes humane and inclusive processes for arriving at effective policy outcomes. Some chapters examine governance mechanisms that reconcile clashes of incommensurable values and resolve conflicts about collective interests. Other chapters provide platforms for social movements that have faced obstacles to communicating to a broad public. The collection’s proposals respond to drastic changes in urban environments. Some changes are imminent. Others are upon us already. All threaten the present and future well-being of urban communities.
Sustainability, Citizen Participation, and City Governance examines sustainable development challenges in law, planning, and policy, and offers municipal actors strategies for overcoming them.

Corporate Law and Sustainability from the Next Generation of Lawyers
Carol Liao
Millennials have come of age in an era when environmental and social crises have defined much of their adult lives, as has the recurrent message that time is of the essence. Future generations will bear the greatest burden created by climate change, pandemics, and inequality, but often they are not in positions of power to make impactful decisions about it.
This book gives voice to young lawyers offering new critical perspectives in the burgeoning field of corporate law and sustainability. Climate change is an intergenerational crisis, and the solutions and path forward must include intergenerational voices. Millennials are rising in power at a critical juncture in our climate and corporate history, and their perspectives stand apart from those who have been trained into myopic views of what constitutes change. These essays challenge the status quo across a number of pressing topics, including executive compensation, board diversity, decolonialization, crowdfunding, social media risk, corporate lobbying, shareholder activism, tax avoidance, global supply chain management, and human rights, written with a level of thoughtfulness and urgency that demands attention from policymakers and scholars alike.
Edited by Carol Liao, a leading expert in the field, and with a foreword by author and filmmaker of The Corporation and The New Corporation Joel Bakan, this book offers timeless research from a diverse group of young lawyers calling for bona fide corporate accountability within legal and regulatory frameworks, including innovative ideas for refor -

Deliberative Peace Referendums
Ron Levy, Ian O'Flynn, and Hoi Kong
Referendums are now increasingly common in what can be called 'conflict societies' as a way of using the sovereign authority of the people to bring about new constitutional settlements. Cyprus, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Guatemala, Iraq, Kenya, Kosovo, Montenegro, New Caledonia, Northern Ireland, Papua New Guinea, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Timor-Leste are just some examples of countries where referendums have or will soon be held on these points. This book investigates the practice of referendums as a method of peacebuilding in conflict societies, their rationales, their successes, and their failures, ultimately arguing that the referendum's utility for conflict management in large part depends on its design, including how such design incorporates cautionary lessons from past trials.
