Some more happy news during this strange time!
Thomson Reuters has agreed to help support Ontario lawyers with their remote work during the COVID-19 crisis. Thomson Reuters alongside the LIRN network of courthouse law libraries is providing all Ontario licensees of the Law Society complete remote access to Westlaw and an online ProView Library of legal texts and looseleaf equivalents covering the practice areas most important to you.
Please click here to see a full list of what is available. Initial access to these programs will be for 30 days.
If you are interested and would like to get started, please request access here: https://legalprof.thomsonreuters.com/TR-LSO-Partnership
For any questions on where to get started with WestLaw or ProView, feel free to visit the Customer Learning Centre, where you can find training materials, how-to videos and other resources to help you navigate and maximize your usage of WestLaw and the ProView Library.
Thanks, Thomson Reuters!
I am a retired Barrister and for no reason of my own I am now a SRL.
Do you grant me and all other SRLs free
Access also ?
Access to Justice – level playing field – or more skewing of Justice?
Hi Michael, We’re afraid you’d have to discuss that further with Thomson Reuters directly! This offer has been made to the entire province, so we did not have any involvement in the terms.
Thank you for your prompt reply
Might I impose upon you to pass my
query to them with my email for reply to
all of us.
All SRLs will be most inquisitive.
You are best able to address this issue as
you have the relationship with them.
Respectfully
Thanks Brenda. Erred sentry originating message – my follow on request asking you to forward for answer to all SRLs
Thank you.
Hi Michael, As mentioned we didn’t have any hand in negotiating this so we don’t have any contacts, as it was done on a provincial level. I’d recommend contacting the National SRL project: https://representingyourselfcanada.com/ , as they might have more resources available and are better positioned to address something like this.
