This course explores a range of contemporary legal issues, and how they are addressed in both Canadian and International law.  Students will develop an understanding of the principles of both Canadian and International law and of issues related to human rights and freedoms, conflict resolution, and criminal, environmental and workplace law, both in Canada and internationally.  Students will apply the concepts of legal thinking and the legal studies inquiry process, and will develop legal reasoning skills, when investigating these and other issues in both Canadian and international contexts.
