About Learning about the Law
 |
This page from JP Boyd on Family Law and others highlighted in orange explain trial procedure and litigation in BC family law. They are under editorial review to provide more thorough, current, and practical guidance. Since 2020, procedures, forms, and laws have changed significantly. While gross inaccuracies have been corrected, some details may still be outdated. These pages were not included in the 2024 print edition. |
This wikibook from People's Law School will help you understand the law in Canada. You will find out about the two major
areas of law: criminal law and civil law.
Throughout this wikibook, we focus on your legal rights and responsibilities under Canadian law.
This wikibook is divided into two sections:
We tried to keep the language easy, but some parts may still be hard. The words that are in bold type are defined in the section, What the Words Mean.
Be sure to use the information in the section Find Out More at the end of the wikibook. It refers you to a wide range of resources that will answer your questions and provide help if you have a legal problem.
