""A must-read for any criminal lawyer who wants to understand the role that borders play in the investigation, prosecution, and defence of criminal cases -- which should be every criminal lawyer.""--Gerald Chan, Stockwoods Barristers ""Applause for Professor Currie and all of the authors who contributed to this book. Cross-border and transnational issues abound in criminal law today. The deep expertise shared by the authors is probing and far-reaching, ranging from jurisdictional, to substantive, to evidence gathering and Charter issues. And that is just a start. An essential contribution to Canadian legal literature.""--Associate Chief Justice Michal Fairburn, Court of Appeal for Ontario ""Professor Currie has assembled a wide-ranging and insightful survey by some of the world's leading experts on the important and rapidly developing subject of transnational criminal law. The collection demonstrates the wide reach and increasing importance of international law to Canadian criminal practice and gives practitioners ready access to the key sources and principles.""--The Honourable Thomas A. Cromwell, former justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, Senior Counsel, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP ""Professor Currie was the first academic of the globalization era to identify a core problem with our concepts -- namely, tackling crimes that cross borders requires understanding of both criminal law and international law, but legislators, policy-makers, and lawyers do not truly share a common legal language. Through this multi-layered collection, he continues to advance understanding of an increasingly necessary field.""--Professor Darryl Robinson, Faculty of Law, Queen's University ""Those who study and practice criminal law today need to understand what happens when criminal laws extend beyond Canada's borders. This excellent collection brings together a great combination of leading academics and practitioners to provide superb commentary on a wide range of topics, from extradition to money laundering to terrorism.""--Kent Roach, CM, University of Toronto
