Brush up on your research skills at the library in March by attending our next two training sessions: March 1 (Westlaw) and March 28 (Quicklaw), each running from 12:00 – 1:00pm. Stop by the CCLA Library for one or both of the sessions, and count it towards your CPD hours! Best of all, it’s free!
As always, the sessions are held in the CCLA Library, located in Room 2004 on the main floor of the Ottawa Courthouse, 161 Elgin Street. If you would like to attend either of the following, or if you have any questions at all, drop me a quick email at blauritzen@ccla-abcc.ca. Walk-ins are also welcome. Bring your lunch with you!

Westlaw basics will also be reviewed. Bring your own research questions!
What’s New on Quicklaw; Wednesday, March 28th, 12:00 to 1:00 PM, CCLA Library
Let them narrow the search results for you. Learn how to use Quicklaw’s Canada Digest, Canada Quantums, and Quickcite features to search within the most relevant case law, legislation, and commentary, instead of starting from scratch. Quicklaw basics will also be reviewed.
