Free access to NRS Databases
Effective June 1, 2008 Maritime Law Book will provide free access to over 215,000 cases in our 12 databases that cover every common law jurisdiction in Canada plus the House of Lords and Privy Council (U.K.).
No registration is required. And the databases are searchable.
Free access is limited to the judgment without a headnote. Also the free access does not include the MLB Key Number System.
Existing subscribers will continue to have access to our time saving headnote material at existing prices. And note that all users will now have access to all 215,000 cases.
Access to the B.C.T.C. and O.T.C. databases will be free, including those cases that have been assigned key numbers. (Note that in 2007 Maritime Law Book stopped adding Key Number references to B.C.T.C. and O.T.C. cases such that these databases should be searched by key word(s) selected by the researcher instead of by key number).
The 12 databases include an estimated 17,000 cases from the 1960s and the 1970s that are not on CANLII.
