| Title |
Criminal Justice in Canada: A Comparative Study of the Maritimes and Lower Canada 1760-1812
|
| Abstract |
Three different legal systems came together after the Conquest to form the criminal justice system of Quebec/Lower Canada by 1812: the civil law regime of France based on the Customs of Paris; British martial law introduced after the Conquest in 1760; and English common law brought in during the years of 1764 to 1777. The authors argue that any analysis of the criminal justice system of Lower Canada must be based on an appreciation and understanding of these systems and the way in which they were adapted to meet the needs and exigencies of the Anglo-French colony.
