Abstract
It is indisputable that the natural law perspective has had a powerful influence on Canadian laws and lawmakers. However, some theorists believe that in today's multicultural and diverse societies, natural law is no longer relevant. It is argued in this paper that this is not accurate, and that the natural law perspective continues to have a powerful influence on Canadian laws and lawmakers. It shows, however, that other perspectives also have an influence.

Trademark Law in Canada, 2002.

Abstract
This study will look at trademark law and its impact on the business environment in Canada. It will take a critical look at the Trade-marks Act and look at the way it was applied in the Big Sisters Association of Ontario v. Big Brothers of Canada case. From this analysis it will be clear to see that the law, as it stands, is ambiguous and in need of clarification if it is to serve its objectives. Having shown this, however, it will also be argued that bringing more clarity in to the law is no easy task: some flexibility and room for interpretation will always be necessary if the law is to apply to a wide-spectrum of cases. Applicability comes at the cost of precision.

This paper will examine trademark law in Canada and the United States, paying particular attention to infringement upon registered marks. The first part of the paper will briefly examine the history of trademark protection in the two countries; the second part will deal with infringement problems in the United States; the third part will look at infringement problems in Canada.
Historical Background
The protection of marks and names which identified the maker of certain goods dates back to the early years of English common law.

Canada and the Natural World, 2008.

Abstract
The paper examines how James Lynne Alexander's lengthy poem "Wonders of the West or a Day at the Falls of Niagara, in 1825" reflects the rhetoric of a people and a time in which Mother Nature held sway over Canada's fledgling nation. The paper conveys the turbulent relationship between Upper Canadians of his age and an unruly local climate and the equally tense and turbulent relationship between Upper Canadians and their American counterparts.
From the Paper
"James Lynne Alexander is not a name that will be familiar to most Canadian or American students of Canadian poetry; in fact, his name may not be familiar to many scholars who have devoted their careers to the study of Canadian literature. Nonetheless, Alexander's "Wonders of the West or a Day at the Falls of Niagara, in 1825" is a very useful poem for anyone seeking to learn more about the sometimes tense historic relationship between Canadians and the natural world - and about the historically tense relationship between Canadians and their American neighbors."

Case Law and Statute Law, 2005.
A theoretical comparison of these two sources of English law.

Abstract
This paper attempts to define the differences between England's common and statute laws. It looks at how the laws are formed as well as their fundamental purpose. It examines how statute is interpreted and acted upon by the courts and how it follows that precedents are formed as new cases arise. It also demonstrates how over time, statute will become part of common law as judges follow previous decisions in new cases where applicable.
From the Paper
"For political bills or proposals to become statute, that is to become Acts of Parliament, they must first be debated in the House of Commons (this is made up of elected representatives of the wider public, Members of Parliament or MPs). However, this is just the start if the process: the proposed legislation must then be accepted by MPs by way of a successful vote and further ratified by acceptance in the House of Lords. The House of Lords is the supreme court in Britain and may refuse to pass the law; but a bill can be forced through using the Parliament Act if such action is deemed necessary for Parliament to fulfil its obligation to make laws in the best interests of the nation.

From the Paper
"The history of the doctrine of competency to stand trial arose in English common law out of a concern for fairness in the trial of accused persons who, if found guilty of criminal charges, would suffer deprivations of liberty and other penalties. One of the earliest United States Supreme Court cases (Dusky v. United States,1960) determined that a defendant's competency to stand trial depended on "whether he has sufficient present ability to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding" and "whether he has a rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him"."

Social Law and Statutory Law, 2006.
An overview of the juvenile justice system in the U.S. and how it deals with juvenile delinquency.

Abstract
This paper examines the juvenile justice system in the United States, explaining the reasons why it is separated from the regular crime system and how it is influenced by the political and social conditions of the state. Particular attention is paid to the juvenile justice system in California and how the system has increasingly focused on incarceration rather than rehabilitation. Finally, the paper discusses evidence indicating that mental health services at an early age are highly effective in treating potential juvenile offenders and turning them away from a life of crime.
From the Paper
"The main object of separating the juvenile justice system from the regular crime system had been on the assumption that minors were different from adults in their ability to make decisions and understand consequences, "The juvenile justice system has evolved over the years based on the premise that juveniles are different from adults and juveniles who commit criminal acts generally should be treated differently from adults" (Roberts, 2005). It was observed that the younger the offender, the more likely that a repeat offense would be stopped and a change in behavior would be observed. It was, therefore, thought that youngsters should be given the benefit of the doubt and should not be treated as adult offenders."

Nature's Demise in the Poetry of Canada, 2002.
Analyzes the theme of urbanization and industrializatoin and its negative consequences found in the poetry of several Canadian poets.

Abstract
The urbanization and industrialization of Canada brought with them a rise in the thematic importance of technology in the nation's literature. As the negative consequences of these processes began to be seen very clearly, poets increasingly spoke out against the trend in their imaginative work. Nature is typically cast as a formerly exalted and redeeming entity which technology, the sum of man's scientific 'progress', has sullied. Analysing a number of short poems by Lampman, Pratt, Scott, and Birney, this paper will consider the characterisation of nature and technology which, resoundingly, conforms to the notions expressed above.

Trademark Laws in U.S. & Canada, 1993.
Involving unfair advertising & competition, piracy & other infringements. Examples, recommendations and global aspects.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
" This study is concerned with trademark laws in the United States and Canada and how they relate to unfair advertising or competition, as well as how effective they are in stopping piracy and other trademark infringements. It will be argued that, while recent legislation within these two countries has made trademark infringements more difficult, trademark law still needs further definition in the international sphere.
Since the 1870s, trademark rights in the United States have arisen out of the marks in commerce, the basic premise being "no trade, no trademark." The federal trademark statute enacted in 1946 required U.S. trademark owners to submit proof of prior use when applying to register their marks in the Patent and Trademark Office. In 1989 changes in trademark legislation within the United States gave domestic firms an edge in competing against.."

Pornography in Canada, 2002.

Abstract
Leo Groarke, in his article "Pornography, Censorship, and Obscenity Law in Canada," presents an analysis of the issues of censorship, pornography and their co-existence with the principles of free speech and freedom of expression, in Canada and the United States. This analysis explores these issues from a primarily Canadian perspective, beginning with an analysis of the philosophical and theoretical foundations of these issues and extending this to their application in case law and legislation. Within this context, Groarke argues that while proposed legislation in Canada with regard to pornography and freedom of speech are flawed in that they do not take into account the complexities of these issues, it is nonetheless possible to reconcile restrictions on access to pornographic materials while still maintaining the principle of freedom of thought, speech and expression in our society.
