About this Guide
This guide is for constitutional law research for resources available through the Library for students, faculty, and staff.
Get started with legal encyclopedias, either the Canadian Encyclopedic Digest in Westlaw or Halsbury's Laws of Canada in Lexis. Those resources also connect to relevant case law, legislation, and secondary sources.
Books are great resources for constitutional law information, from core titles including required readings, to loose-leafs, to leading expert commentary.
This guide also covers citation and links to online constitution resources, including the full text of the Charter.
Book a Research Help Appointment
Research help is available for students, faculty, and staff of TMU with legal research questions.
