Canadian Legal Research and Writing Guide Now On CanLII

The Canadian Legal Research and Writing Guide, which used to be known as the Best Guide to Canadian Legal Research, has been added to the ever-growing commentary section of the Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLII).

CanLII is a portal funded by Canada’s provincial and territorial law societies to make legal information content (court judgments, tribunal decisions, statutes and regulations, commentary) available to Canadians free of charge.

According to the CanLII blog:

"Catherine Best created the website version of the Guide over her almost 30 year career as a research lawyer. Her expertise in researching complex legal issues and teaching legal research and writing have translated into a quality guide that has been helping researchers effectively use online tools for 20 years. When Catherine Best retired in 2015, she generously donated the site to CanLII."

CanLII already publishes law reviews, reports, newsletters and case commentaries.
