Social Science 30 or Elective 30
Students will develop a clear understanding and appreciation for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, not only knowing their rights as Canadians but why these rights are so significant.
Criminal law is a major area of focus in Law 30. Students will examine what makes a crime a crime, what is needed to convict someone of a crime, and how criminal court cases are tried in Canada. Throughout this, they will look at a number of current and historical legal cases to help better understand the foundations of Canadian criminal law.
Law 30 is both a Social Science and a Business course. It is with this dual focus that students will examine civil law. This critical aspect of law is both important to us as citizens and as part of the business world. By understanding the law, a business can be better prepared not only to meet the needs of its customers but prevent costly litigation.
