HeinOnline has a large collection with multiple ways of searching so it can sometimes be difficult to know if your search is getting the results you are looking for. This tip explains how users can search the actual catalog records for a thorough result. Searching the catalog is a little different that doing a broad search as it uses the Machine Readable Coding used to identify each item.
Check the tip to see simple one-box search methods, or dive deeper into advanced searches. You can even take a look at the Catalog Subjects tool to browse through subject headings.
CanLII is another resource with a large database. Typing in a simple keyword or phrase can bring up thousands of results. One method to narrow that down is to use filters. This tip gives a great overview of how to limit results for cases, legislation, and commentary by using filters like jurisdiction, dates, and subjects.

Court records or docket information aren’t always the easiest things to find. When you do find them it can be another step trying to access them. Then it gets even harder when you are dealing with other provinces and jurisdictions.
Luckily there is a great resource from the University of Windsor Paul Martin Law Library to help navigate court systems Canada wide. Click below to take a look.
The table has information from all provinces and territories, as well as the Supreme court and Federal Courts. Here, you can find information like decisions, dockets, registries, policies, and fees.
This helpful table was put together by Sarah Richmond and with help from CALL/ACBD members across Canada.

Two groups of amendments to the Federal Courts Rules and one group of amendments to the Federal Courts Citizenship, Immigration and Refugee Protection Rules were approved on June 17, 2021, and came into force upon registration.
These amendments make a number of changes to the Federal Courts Rules including: providing clarity to the Rules by eliminating contradictions between the English and French versions, reducing duplication of paper copies to be filed and other procedural changes.
Federal Courts Citizenship, Immigration, and Refugee Protection Rules consolidates a number of changes such as introducing a simplified procedure to request an anonymity order and amending the definition of an “appeal” to reflect the changes under the Citizenship Act.
