Bar-eX
The County and District Law Presidents' Association concluded an agreement with Bar-eX in mid-2002 to provide on-line services to all member associations and members.  Bar-eX provides many useful services, many of them at no cost.  There is a synopsis of current developments in the law which is accompanied by direct access to the source web sites, the most up-to-date court decisions, legislative amendments and proposals for reform.

There are also great discussion boards so that you can network with your colleagues across the province on any issue.  Bar-eX offers a web builder service to assist lawyers and law firms in developing their own web sites.  Overall, the site provides a very useful single entry point to the legal community for research, continuing legal education and also commercial sites of particular interest to lawyers.  Check it out at http://www.bar-ex.com

The web site of the CBA is packed with useful information including online access to the latest issue of the organization's magazine, The National.   The site also allows you to register on a number of online mailing lists and discussion groups according to your area of interest, as well as providing an events calendar, a publications list, podcast link, and a good selection of links to other legal sites.  http://www.cba.org

City of London
Many of you may be familiar with the site’s city map feature that allows you to customize a map to meet your needs. However, you can also access all kinds of city-related information from what the tax rates are for different classes of property, to how much a dog licence is, along with information on possible land use changes and who is responsible for what at City Hall.  View the City of London web site at

City of London Bylaws
Although the MLA Library has never held a comprehensive collection of city by-laws, we still get asked for them. The official version of all by-laws can be obtained from the City Clerk's Department on the 3rd Floor of City Hall, but an easily accessible source for these documents is the City of London web site.  It provides a selection of regulatory by-laws that have wide application within the City of London. The Official Plan and Zoning by-law Z-1 are not yet on the web site, but possibly will be by end of the year. The documents provided are consolidated versions that incorporate all amendments passed by City Council. On the opening page of each by-law document you'll find information on when the last amendment or consolidation occurred.  All by-law documents are in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format.  Use the URL below or at the top of the city's homepage, select "City Services".
