eLegal Canton
David Canton’s blog is a well-considered
survey of current issues relating to online law and information. A
representative sample of the archives for April 2006 contains new comments
and previously published reprints from his London Free Press articles on such
timely topics as the printing of credit/debit card numbers on receipts, the
importance of erasing hard drives on used equipment, and an interesting
concept called "continuous partial attention".
The blog includes references and links to works by information and
privacy law experts Michael Geist and David Fraser, and provides valuable
links to other useful sites and blogs, for example the Ontario Privacy
Commissioner’s fact sheet on Secure Destruction of Personal Information.

Hieros Gamos List of Legal and Law Related Journals
This site provides an alphabetical listing and direct links to law journals,
periodicals and newsletters on the Web.
Some of the links are to the full-text online version of the journal;
others are to subscription information only.
The coverage is primarily U.S., although some other sources are
included as well.

Jurist Canada
This site bills itself as "The Legal Education Network"
and is based out of the University of Toronto. Jurist Canada is the
Canadian service of the American-based Jurist, directed from the University
of Pittsburgh School of Law. It provides "a clearinghouse of
academically-authored and other quality-controlled Canadian legal resources
provided for the convenience of Canadian law teachers, law students, lawyers
and members of the public." The Canadian service is hosted by the Bora Laskin
Law Library at the University of Toronto, and co-edited by Professor Michael
Geist at the University of Ottawa.
If all this sounds too academic for the
everyday working lawyer, think again. This site was one of the ones most
often mentioned in your responses to our Internet Questionnaire. Jurist
Canada provides a wealth of links and information for every area of practice,
including up-to-date Canadian legal news, latest decisions from the Supreme
and Federal Courts and the Ontario Court of Appeal, and CBC newscasts, just
to name a few. There are links to law school webcasts, as well as book
reviews, journal article listings, and international materials such as latest
news and decisions of the International Court of Justice. The site can be
found at http://jurist.law.utoronto.ca
