Researching Cases

• Canadian Legal Information Institute (CANLII)

CanLII provides free searchable full-text access to Canadian case law. The scope of coverage varies by jurisdiction and court.

Boolean operators, proximity connectors, phrases and date restrictions can be incorporated into your query. Using the [Advanced Search] feature, you can select one or more jurisdictions to be searched, limit your search to appellate decisions, and restrict your search by type of tribunal.

You can also use CanLII to retrieve cases by citation or name.

A collection of the judgments of the Alberta Courts is available from CanLII. The official version of the reasons for judgment is the signed original or handwritten endorsement in the court file. If there is a question about the content of a judgment, the original court file takes precedence.

• CanLII – Provincial Court judgments
• CanLII – Court of Queen’s Bench judgments
• CanLII – Court of Appeal judgments
