LawNow.org Et Al.

My week for finding things that have been around for ages, in this case LawNow, a magazine and, as LawNow.org, a website with associated services. The tagline for LawNow is “relating law to life in Canada,” which, you might guess, means that it’s aimed at real people rather than legal folk. I can see that it might be useful in a highschool law course. The mag is by subscription only ($26/year); a subscription to LawNow Plus ($89/yr) gets you the magazine and alerts about changes to legislation or information on selected cases as well as access to the full 10-year database of back issues.

There’s a sample issue of the magazine available for examining online (in PDF).

This is one of a cluster of services emanating from the Alberta Legal Resource Centre, the best known of which is probably the Access to Justice Network.

    Thanks for posting this Simon. LawNow celebrated its 30th year of publication in 2005, so its now 32 years old, and I think can be considered a real success in Canadian legal publishing and public legal education. A lot of credit should go to Lois Gander who has been a driving force behind the magazine and the resource centre itself.
