From Your Library: New Release – “Researching Quebec Law: Insights for Common Law Practitioners”

When we saw this new book available through Carswell, we immediately put in an order for a copy for the library. We don’t tend to get a lot of questions having to do with Quebec, so if you’re like us and a bit lost when it comes to the law of la belle province, this book might give you some much needed clarity. Written for non-French speaking, common law legal professionals, the book provides a history of the Quebec legal system, information on how to research Quebec legislation, case law, and commentary sources, and a very thorough glossary of terms.

This book is so new to the library that we don’t even have it on the shelves yet. If you would like to review it right away, please ask at the front desk. In the coming weeks, you’ll be able to find this book in our Reference section at KF 240 M37 2015.

From Your Library: Westlaw FamilySource

As part of our subscription to WestlawNext, we also have the FamilySource product. This add-on makes up a separate area within Westlaw where materials specifically of interest to family law practitioners are kept, easy to find and use in your research.

When you access WestlawNext from the library computers, the portal to FamilySource is on the right hand side (see below). Clicking on the words “FamilySource” will take you to main page, which includes links to online versions of several popular looseleaf titles (that you can search, print out, or email from). This is also where you can find the Epstein “This Week in Family Law” newsletter, and you can even start a case law search within just family law cases.

FamilySource

As with all of our electronic products, there is no end cost to you when you use this product in the CCLA Library. The CCLA Library staff have been finding FamilySource to be quite useful when researching, so we encourage you to take a look the next time you’re using Westlaw at our library.

From Your Library: New Release – “Election Law in Canada”

Every so often,we get a new book in the library that is on a topic where we have few other titles, especially anything published recently. Aside from some entries in legal encyclopedias and an older text, election law is one of those topics. This is why we’re excited about a new book: Election Law in Canada by Donald J. Bourgeois with Susan B. Campbell. You can find this book in our library in the Texts section at KF 4483 .E4 B67 2015.

If you’d like to pick one up for yourself, you can buy it from Lexis where it costs $90.00.
