Canadian Court Decisions It is important to have access to a data base that contains recent court decisions. This is where you search for any judicial reviews of a particular case that you feel is relevant to your research. Court decisions offer clarity and will often articulate issues from the basis of first principles. When conducting a search for judicial review you should start at the Supreme Court of Canada and work your way down. Some commercial on-line providers incorporate mechanisms which make this process easier. Supreme Court of Canada

Statutes and Regulations The law derives its authority from case law or "common law" and government statutes and regulations. Laws are changing all the time and it is imperative that you ensure the statute or regulation you are relying on to establish a point of law is contemporary. Most Statutes and Regulations can now be found
at government web sites. Commercial on-line providers also provide very
comprehensive statute data bases.
