Coming soon: KeyCiteCanada for regulations

 

Later this month you will not only be able to KeyCite statutes and rules, but regulations as well.

You will be able to find judicial treatments for any regulatory provision, whether Canadian or foreign, current or historic, that has been cited in a Canadian case decided since 1997.

For selected commentary, such as MacDonald & Wilton’s Child Support Guidelines Law and Practice, containing hypertext to regulatory provisions, you will see that commentary among the citing references for that regulatory provision.

You will be able to KeyCite regulations by citation or by title using the KeyCite legislation templates found on the home page of most WestlaweCARSWELL Sources or via the KeyCiteCanada home page link on the toolbar at the top of any WestlaweCARSWELL page.

For current Canadian regulations available in full text on WestlaweCARSWELL, you will find in the left frame a link to KeyCite Citing References.

More information to follow in our next eBulletin.

 

 

High Profile Cases and Court Documents

 

Welcome to high profile cases and court documents from WestlaweCARSWELL!

The new web page displays a small number of the most notable cases making a significant ripple in the legal literature and news media from all areas of law. Visit the web page to stay in the know and deepen your understanding of top-of-mind case decisions.

Our specially written case digests focus on the arguments put forward by all sides in the action, as well as the ultimate result. We pair our High Profile digests with the actual court documents that were filed with the courts, helping you to better understand the issues that were before the court. 

After each digest, you will find links to pleadings, motions and facta available in the Litigator Court Document Gallery. Litigator subscribers can link directly to documents without additional charge.  Users who do not have a Litigator subscription will be able to access these documents on a Pay-Per-View basis.

You now have the ability to look behind the judgments that matter to you. You can see all of the facts and strategies that counsel put before the court, giving you far greater insight into the judgment, and perhaps revealing critical points of similarity or distinction with your own cases.

The web page content will be updated monthly with a new selection of High Profile cases digests, and the associated court documents.

 

 

Reporting System v.2 enhancements

Coming soon, there will be some exciting new enhancements to Reporting System Version 2.  These exciting new features will allow the administrator to:

·    Accurately manage the usage for the firm and chargeback

·    Determine who in the firm has access to the Reporting System v.2 across multiple locations.

·    Have a pre-made report that allows usage reports for only one user (available via a drop down menu).

·    Isolate different Sources for usage reports. If your firm has a LawSource and an InsolvencySource subscription, but you only want to run usage for LawSource, you will now have the ability do to this.

These enhancements will be available to you late May.

Help Menu and Tip Enhancements

The new format for our help menus and tip screens will improve your user experience. More…
