Unit 1Foundations of LawOfficial strand · Strand FL
Why law exists, where Canada's legal system comes from, how laws change, and the Charter that sits over it all.
Why Law Exists and Where Ours Comes From
- The purpose and function of lawLAW30-FL1 — Evaluate why societies build law — the worldviews behind legal systems, the order-versus-freedom debate, the rule of law in democracies, and the difference between equality and equity in justice.
- Canada's legal foundations and safeguardsLAW30-FL1 — Trace Canada's legal system to its sources — the Constitution and Charter, treaties, the Indian Act, and case law — its roots in Indigenous legal systems, British common law, and Québec's Civil Code, and the safeguards that protect Canadians from abuse of power.
How Laws Change
- The machinery of legal changeLAW30-FL2 — Analyze how and why Canadian laws change — the social forces behind landmark changes like the abolition of the death penalty, the law-making process at local, provincial, and federal levels, the three branches of government, and how to plan for change yourself.
- Treaties, reconciliation, and the lawLAW30-FL2 — Investigate the evolving legal relationship between First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and non-Indigenous Canadians — treaty promises and land entitlement, differing understandings of the treaties, truth and reconciliation, and traditional restorative practices.
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms
- The Charter's structure and famous clausesLAW30-FL3 — Assess the Charter as a legal instrument — why it entered the Constitution in 1982, how it balances individual and societal rights, its structure and jurisdiction, and the reasonable-limits and notwithstanding clauses.
- Rights protection in practiceLAW30-FL3 — Assess how rights get protected in practice — the bodies that guard them in Saskatchewan, how courts reshape laws in the Charter's light, the struggles of groups seeking recognition, and what you can do if your own rights are violated.

Does the System Work?
- Sentencing goals, options, and alternativesLAW30-CR2 — Weigh the goals of sentencing — rehabilitation, deterrence, reparation — against the options: discharges, conditional sentences, incarceration, parole, probation, and the plea bargains that resolve most cases.
- Critiquing the system — causes, Gladue, and outcomesLAW30-CR2 — Critique the system's effectiveness — the root causes of crime, whether imprisonment changes behaviour, the over-representation of Indigenous people and the Gladue factors courts must weigh, correctional programs, and the Jordan decision's trial-delay limits.
Justice and the Community
