Happy new year, library users!  The end of the year is always accompanied by many a shipment of new books.  We have a big list here, many of them updates to annual publications.  If you come looking for a book in the library and can’t find it, please ask at the Reference Desk.  With all of the new material, it might take a little bit longer than usual to get the books onto the shelves.

This month’s post could be alternatively titled: The New Family Law Practice! It’s here! Yes, library users, a fresh shipment of the Ontario Family Law Practice, 2012 Edition from LexisNexis has arrived at the library.  Amanda has prepared the books for the shelves, and we’re excited to announce that we’ve increased our holdings to five copies.  In light of both of our copies of the 2011 edition having gone missing (and thank you, everyone, for using the older versions we had on hand as we waited for the new editions to arrive), we ask that you very carefully print your name and direct phone number on the sign-out cards, and that the book is returned to the front desk at the library (as opposed to on a shelving cart) every time you borrow it for court.

For our non-Family law library users, we have plenty of new materials that might be of interest.  In addition to a good number of yearly updates, we have updates to some favourite titles, such as a new edition of Paciocco and Stuesser’s The Law of Evidence, Hogg’s Liability of the Crown, and a new Administrative Law in Canada by Blake.  We’ve also acquired a new publication that might be of interest to those of you who are new to small claims practice.  Ontario Small Claims Court – A Practical Guide is a new title from LexisNexis that aims to give you the ins and outs of preparing for and appearing in Small Claims court.  If you’ve seen this book advertised and are thinking of picking it up for your own collection, feel free to come take a look at ours and see if it’s the right title for you.  Finally, just yesterday, a brand new publication that even us non-lawyers are interested in reading was delivered – Animals and the Law by Lesli Bisgould.  To my knowledge, there isn’t much else out there on this particular topic, so this title is a great addition to our collection.

Here is our full list for the last two months – you can click on the hyperlinks to see the publisher’s write-up for these titles.

This past month, I had a brief moment of understanding what the frenzy must be like at Chapters when a new Harry Potter/Game of Thrones/Book-in-a-Popular-Series is published, as someone remarked, with (moderate) excitement, “Oh! The new Small Claims practices are here!”  New books – we have ’em.  Here’s your round-up for the months of August and September.  You’ll notice a good number of annual updates, including our new Treemear’s Criminal Code, the Ontario Civil Practice, and of course, Ontario Cmall Claims Court Practice.  We’ve also acquired a fair number of new editions to popular texts, such as the third edition of Drafting Trusts and Will Trusts in Canada, and the third edition of Kirsh & Alter: A Guide to Construction Liens in Ontario.

I’ve split up our list new acquisitions for the last two months into major practice areas – we have so many great new books, looseleafs, and CPD programs that this might be a bit easier to spot the titles of interest to you.   Unfortunately, this left the “Miscellaneous” category at the end (the bane of every librarian everywhere), so I apologize for that, but take heart: a great book for you might be in there if none of the other subject headings apply.   These last two months, we’ve received a good number of annual renewals alongside some new editions and brand new titles.  A few titles that I’ll highlight are:

A Guide to Breathalyzer Certificates in Canada – This is a new looseleaf publication from Canada Law Book.  Part of my selection for this title involved approaching a lawyer in the library that I knew did a lot in this line of practice and asking if they’d heard of the title.  Their immediate response was “Buy it.”  We’re excited to finally have our copy in the library, and hope it will prove valuable to our clients.

Evidence in Family Law – This is another new looseleaf title that we’re thrilled to bring into the library.  As looseleafs are among the most expensive parts of our collection, we like to look for special and interesting titles that aren’t duplicating what we already have and will bring specific scholarship to our clients.   We hope this title fits that bill.  If you have chance to use this, let us know how you like it.

Child Protection Law in Canada – This is a looseleaf set, but only somewhat new to our library.  We used to have a subscription to this title, but it was cancelled several years ago.  After requests for this title began to come in, we’ve decided to reinstate the subscription.

We’ve received an interesting mix of titles these past two months – some annual renewals for legislative titles alongside some new editions of old favourites.  One book of particular interest is the newest edition of Canadian Tort Law by Linden and Feldthusen.  Texts on the law of torts are quite popular in the library, and we hope you’ll find this new edition useful.  In the next month or so, we’ll also be receiving the newest edition of the ever-popular The Law of Torts in Canada by Fridman.  Both will be available in our Reserve collection, so certainly take a look at those.  For those of you practicing employment law, we have a few new titles for you that might be of interest.  Specifically, For Better or for Worse: A Practical Guide to Canadian Employment Law has been released as a new edition – the last edition of this book was in 2003.  Finally – as a sneak peak – we have some great new titles coming in the next month or two in both our criminal and family law areas.  These include some library user requests and brand new publications, so stay tuned for those titles.

We also received a lot of new Continuing Professional Development materials, from our friends at the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Hamilton Law Association, and the Middlesex Law Association.  Amanda, our Library Technician, has been incredibly hard at work getting these titles ready and out onto the shelves, so please give them a look!  We’d like to make a special mention to those in our community who do not use the library in-person (or at all!).  Don’t let having your own library collection or not having to come to the courthouse stop you from giving us a call or email – we’re here to help everyone!  Our CPD materials are a great resource with an astounding amount of variety in content, and are incredibly easy to search and from which to request materials.  Simply search for the title you’re interested in on the Law Society of Upper Canada’s AdvoCat catalogue, open the individual record, and select the “Table of Contents” tab atop the title.  We’d be happy to scan and send an article of interest.

The beginning of 2011 started out a bit slow here at the library for new collections, but in the past two months combined, we’ve had some excellent new materials come into the library, some of which are listed below.   In particular, we’ve seen several new editions of key legal texts that we’re sure you’ll find useful during your research.   We expect that the new 3rd edition of The Law of Subdivision Control by Troister will be a hit, as will the new 8th edition of The Law of Search and Seizure in Canada by Fontana and Keeshan.  Another title we’re excited about – and we hope some of you will use and give us your feedback on – is the brand new Bullen & Leake & Jacob’s Canadian Precedents of Pleadings.  We’ve kept copies of this British series in the library for many years, so it is exciting to have a specifically Canadian edition available.  Our friends at the Hamilton Law Association library say that this title is proving quite popular with Hamilton lawyers, and for more information, check out this review from Ted Tjaden at Slaw.ca.

Happy new year, readers!  While we’ve all moved on to 2011, there’s still the matter of our new books from last month to write about.  Last month, we received a great number of new editions of annual titles, as well as many, many continuing professional development materials.  We’re actually a bit swamped with them right now!  We’ll list them below, but you might not see them on our shelves just yet.  If you just can’t wait to get your hands on a copy, however, please stop by the desk – we might have it available for you to peruse before it’s ready to be on the shelves.

Since we have so many titles this month, I’ll proceed with the list without too much preamble.  As always, please let us know if you have any book recommendations for our collection!  Your recommendations are quite invaluable to us, and we love being able to put new titles on the shelf that we know our clients would like to use.

From amongst November’s new titles, there are several we’re excited to highlight in this post. The first is Canada Law Book’s brand new Liquor and Host Liability Law in Canada. The first stand-alone title on this subject (possibly in Canada, and certainly in this library), it’s a great overview of the topic and may likely be of interest to many of you. You’ll find it in our Texts section soon.

Another exciting new addition is an Ontario Bar Association CLE binder on charity and not-for-profit law titled Doing Good, While Avoiding Legal and Liability Problems: A Primer for Lawyers on Advising and Sitting on Non-Profit Boards and Charities. A library client requested this title as an interlibrary loan some time back, and we’ve decided to bring this into our collection permanently. Not only are all of our materials on not-for-profit and charity law quite popular in the library, but as many of you in the community are involved with a wide variety of charities, this might be of personal interest to you if you weren’t able to attend the seminar when it was held in Toronto. It will also be located in the Texts area of our library once it has been fully processed.

In our family law section, we’re re-introducing an old looseleaf for which we suspended our subscription in 2006.  Based on library user feedback, we’ve updated our holdings for Enforcement of Family Law Orders and Agreements.  We hope to now update this title at least once a year.  As a note to our library users: if you find there is an invaluable looseleaf title in our collection that we have stopped updating, please speak to us!  We love to hear what our clients find useful, which areas we could use more resources for, and other suggestions for purchase.

Coming soon to our Reserve section are two new editions that we’re thrilled to have on our shelves. A very popular text on evidence, The Law of Evidence by David Paciocco and Lee Struesser, has recently been released in a revised 5th edition. While the original 5th edition was only published in 2008, decisions from the Supreme Court necessitated a complete re-write of the ninth chapter. Finally, possibly one of the most exciting additions of all, is the new edition of Trotter’s The Law of Bail in Canada. The 2nd edition of this title, published in 1999, continues to be frequently consulted in the library, so we’re pleased to shelve the 3rd edition – now in looseleaf form – in the Reserve area of the library.

Doing Good, While Avoiding Legal and Liability Problems: A Primer for Lawyers on Advising and Sitting on Non-Profit Boards and Charities (OBA)

10th Annual Civil Litigation for Law Clerks (LSUC)

With October mailings came many a delivery of Law Society of Upper Canada “Continuing Professional Development” materials, the new name for what was formerly “Continuing Legal Education” or CLE.  The binders are always full of really interesting papers, so to be getting some new titles at the library is pretty exciting.  I’m personally pretty thrilled about the new binder from their “Annotated Document Series” entitled Annotated Business Agreements 2010.  We are often asked for just such precedents, so it’s nice to have a new resource to offer our clients.  As always, materials from every Law Society CPD session are sent to the CCLA library, usually within a month of the event.  Some of these materials are still being processed, so if the binder you’re looking for is not on the shelf yet, it will be soon!

New editions of annually updated titles are also continuing to arrive.  Certainly of excitement to a great number of our clients will be the new 2011 edition of the Ontario Annual Family Practice.  Our two copies of this title aren’t on the shelf for long each morning – I think they might be tied with the Martin’s Criminal Code for most frequently borrowed items!
