Canadian Legal Info Institute - New Beta Site Offers RSS Feeds
The Canadian Legal Information Institute, or CanLII, has a new beta version of its website.
Among the changes proposed are an expansion of coverage beyond legislation and court/tribunal decisions. For example, the federal page includes many useful external links (federal Hansard, parliamentary bills, Canada Gazette, court hearing lists, access to the Supreme Court library catalogue).
The change that will no doubt create the most excitement, however, is the creation of a long list of RSS feeds. Users can subscribe to feeds from courts and tribunals from all over the country to be notified of either recent decisions or recently modified decisions (corrections recently made to the text of any decision published in a given database).
