Lexis+
Lexis+ Canada
Lexis+ Canada, the successor to Quicklaw, offers some exciting new AI-enabled tools like the Answer functionality and Brief Analysis. Along with a refreshed and modern design, it more importantly offers an expanded collection of secondary materials, probably the most comprehensive collection ever offered online in Canada. Practical Guidance is now more fully integrated in the service and access to Legislative Pulse is now included. Easy to learn as it works fundamentally the same as Quicklaw but come to the session to learn about the new tools and get some navigation tips.
All sessions are 1 hour long and qualify for 60m Professionalism CPD.
