There are three major online legal research services in Canada: CanLII, Westlaw, and Lexis. These are platforms that allow you to search, locate, and read legal information including case law, legislation, and commentary. This page provides information on how to access all three of these services.
Note: Starting in Winter 2023, it is no longer required that GDipICL students sign up for Lexis and Westlaw accounts. However, these services are commonly used in professional legal environments, so you may find it interesting and useful to sign up for these free student accounts and explore the optional content provided in your course materials.
