Ruby’s Sentencing Ranges for Criminal Offences, 2nd Edition is intended to be a companion to Sentencing, 10th Edition, the highly respected and comprehensive work by the late Clayton C. Ruby, one of Canada’s leading lawyers.

Updated by Annamaria Enenajor, managing partner at Ruby Shiller Enenajor, the 2nd Edition presents current ranges for offences under the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), in a clear and accessible format.
