About this ebook

This indispensable reference guide, first published in 1997 and now in its fourth edition, has been fully updated to reflect current, important changes in Canadian law. Every Canadian’s Guide to the Law unfolds in a clear, accessible “cradle-to-grave” format, addressing issues from fetal rights to human rights, from teen sexuality to marriage and divorce, from workplace issues to will and estate issues. Linda Silver Dranoff provides insight into the process of law and how it responds to changing social values, revealing how laws evolve over time and pointing to future trends.

The new edition addresses important legal developments, including significant changes to family law -- from stricter rules against non-disclosure and non-payment to tough orders against parental alienation, from revised pension-sharing rules to the novelty of three or more support-paying parents for some children. This encyclopedic guide elucidates new rights for the self-employed, drastic changes to retirement rules, laws against identity theft, dramatic changes to criminal law sentencing and upgraded protections for children, and more. As the number of self-represented litigants continues to grow, the need for an easy-to-understand and comprehensive guide to Canadian law has never been greater.

Ratings and reviews

I purchased this book, it shows up in my purchase history, and when I search and find it in Google Play Books, it shows up as purchased. However, it does not appear in my library, and I can not downoad the .acsm to read it on my device with Adobe Digital Editions or other ereaders. I can only read it while having an active internet connection, which makes it useless to me. It seems like it might be a very good book, but I'll never know. Repeated requests to google for support have gone unanswered. I'd avoid this book, and probably recommend using another service which doesn't eat your purchases on you, and then have support requests fall onto deaf ears. No wonder there are no reviews for this book.
