This text is intended to describe the procedural features of Canadian Criminal Law. It is meant as a companion to the Criminal Law text which describes the substantive criminal law. This text, on the other hand, while only focusing on procedure, touches on the constitutional validity of procedural law, thus creating a bit of overlap between the two texts.
