Law Report in Canada
Law Report
DLR (law reports)
The only general Canadian law report series reporting cases in all subject areas from the two federal courts as well as from all provincial courts is the Dominion Law Reports, cited D.L.R.
Law Report
Canada is one of those jurisdictions blessed with an active and successful free access to law ethos. Court decisions (transcripts) are offered free online via a number of sites: Lexum (Canadian Supreme Court only), CanLII (national and provincial courts, boards and tribunals) and Raw Law from National Reporter System – to name a big three.)
Canadian cases, with the Supreme Court cases being the exception, stop being cited after approximately the early 2000’s.
Decisions published in the Supreme Court Reports (SCR) are, by a significant margin, the most cited decisions in Canada. Indeed, decisions from the SCR account for 26% of the total. Who’s next? The DLR (law reports), at 10%, is next. Canadian Criminal Cases (CCC) follow at 8%. These 3 reports combined represent 44% of all citation blocks.
