Childhood and the Law in Canada – The Family/State Relationship offers a series of six case studies in family law and the treatment of children in care, schools, and other social institutions. It advances the understanding of foundational legal concepts, current political issues and places legal disputes in historical context.
The content presented in this book helps to clarify the social and legal significance of each case, and helps the reader engage with the competing claims put forward by the parties, interveners and judges. Readers will learn what the courts held, examine their reasoning, and follow the consequences of landmark decisions for contemporary Canadian institutions and social relationships.
