Aboriginal law : commentary, cases and materials

Isaac, Thomas 1966- (author.).

Summary: The third edition of Aboriginal Law contains more extensive and detailed commentary than earlier editions, and highlights the most important aspects of Canadian law affecting Aboriginal peoples. The author provides detailed information on and analysis of current law, referring to relevant court decisions, statutes, and land claims agreements. Key excerpts from major cases and materials are included. All major Supreme Court of Canada decisions on Aboriginal rights in the last four decades are referred to and most are excerpted. The addition of a detailed index makes this book easy to use, and the selected bibliography after each chapter assists readers with more in-depth research.
