CanLII

CanLII is a resource that I’ve watched grow with a great deal of interest. I use it almost every day for one reason or another, not least as a reference for posts to this blog.

I just noticed some handy little hacks that the CanLII developers seem to have added recently. Case headers now include buttons allowing users to link to a case on Twitter or LinkedIn, and the longer links can be shortened using a url shortener that is CanLII-specific, which would seem to address some of the problems with shorteners generally. See, for example, the case at http://canlii.ca/s/sx1j.
