   About Ted Tjaden

Legal Encyclopedias

Legal encyclopedias are not freely available on the Internet due to the huge investment in resources required to keep them up-to-date. Wikipedia, however, often has good articles explaining legal issues or concepts.

 

Below are links to the major legal encyclopedias from the commercial vendors of most interest to Canadian legal researchers (you will require your own subscription/password):

• Canadian Encyclopedic Digest (Westlaw Canada)
• Halsbury's Laws of Canada (LexisNexis Quicklaw)

• Halsbury's Laws of England (LexisNexis Quicklaw)

• Corpus Juris Secundum (USA) (Westlaw Canada)
• American Jurisprudence (Westlaw Canada)
• American Law Reports (USA) (Westlaw Canada)
• Restatements (USA) (Westlaw Canada)
• New York Jurisprudence (Westlaw Canada)
