Narrative:
On our arrival; descending through 10000ft at approximately 200kts; I called for and the pm selected flaps 8 and we then got the slats fail caution message. We worked through the emergency checklist for slat fail which had us recycle the flap lever to 0 then back to 8. We again got the slats fail message. At that point we visually checked from the flight deck to see if the slats were in the zero position. We then completed the checklist for slats fail and descend to continue to land. We elected to use runway xxr because it had an ILS to help with our vertical guidance even though it was 300ft shorter than xxl. We also elected to declare an emergency due to the higher landing speeds; longer landing distance; the unusual landing pitch attitude; and because it was an abnormal landing maneuver. We had a normal landing and no other problems were noted. We wrote up the slats fail message.
