WestlawNext Canada has added a section on COVID-19 materials in their finding tools to help find legislation and cases affected by the pandemic.
For those with access to Westlaw, you can find it at the bottom of the finding tools on the front page. These materials include legislation, cases, and bill progress.
Our subscription to HeinOnline just got even better. Eleven new journals have been added to their collection, including Canadian Tax Journal, published by the Canadian Tax Foundation. HeinOnline is available to members of the Law Society of Manitoba by signing in to the Members Portal and clicking on “Library Resources”.
As we continue to work remotely, being able to access a full library of legal journals wherever you have an internet connection is a valuable resource. Be sure to check out all of the content we provide for you, and don’t hesitate to contact us for help with legal research.
From the Legislative Assembly Website: “On March 19, 2020 the Members of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly unanimously agreed to suspend its sittings due to the ongoing public health crisis brought on by the COVID-19 virus and the need for social distancing. Although public access to the Legislative Building has been limited for the same reason, Assembly offices remain open with a reduced staff complement and can be reached through phone or email.”

The Manitoba Law Library subscribes to Westlawnext Canada on the computers in the library only. Since the library is closed, that service is no longer available for our members. In partnership with Thomson Reuters, we have crafted a solution to allow individual members of the Law Society of Manitoba to register for a limited use license.
The details:
Contact us at library@lawsociety.mb.ca. We will verify that you are a practising member registered with the Law Society of Manitoba, and email you a OnePass registration key to use for 12 hours only. You will have unlimited access to the products we subscribe to on your own device, which include CriminalSource, FamilySource, Estates&TrustsSource and a portion of Litigator including personal injury quantums.
We can offer up to 10 registration keys per day so it will be first come, first served, and you will be cut off when your time is up.
You can register again, but you will go to the end of the line.
Please pass this along to your colleagues who are not subscribers to Westlaw, so we can support as many of you as possible.
For more information on resources available through the Great Library please read this message from the law society.
The Manitoba Law Library would like to acknowledge with gratitude that we are situated on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
