The Judiciary ConclusionReviewsThe Canadian Regime is a clear and contemporary exposition of how the Canadian political system works. By framing the Canadian regime as a unique blend of the British and American constitutions, the authors show how Canada is different from and similar to the other two major English-speaking democracies. They also provide an accurate and balanced explanation of how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has given the courts a new policy-making role, and how this has been a catalyst for interest groups to try to influence the selection of judges and to use litigation to influence government policies. - Frederick L.
