Law library and
legal research blogs and forums have seen a lot of discussion about CanLII’s
latest upgrades. As stated on its homepage,
CanLII is a non-profit
organization managed by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. Its goal
is to make Canadian law accessible for free on the Internet. The new
version of CanLII came online on March 20, 2007, and was not without some
initial problems. Many of these have been solved now, and reviews of this new
version are generally favourable. The new CanLII interface is more
intuitive and cleaner looking. It now offers an advanced search
function for searching across databases, and highlights search terms within
the retrieved documents. Among other improvements, all decisions are
now provided in both html and pdf format and all documents are clearly
identified using neutral citations. Best of all for researchers wanting
to stay on top of the latest cases, CanLII now includes RSS feeds which allow
the user to be notified when new decisions are added. Click on
