What will you find on CanLII
Legal Decisions
The CanLII.org website provides access to court judgments from all Canadian courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada, federal courts, and the courts in all Canada’s provinces and territories. CanLII.org also contains decisions from many federal and provincial administrative tribunals.
When CanLII was established in 2001, it started by publishing current cases, which courts and tribunals sent us as they were written. For most Canadian courts and tribunals, our collection is generally complete for cases decided after 2001.
We have also completed several projects to add historical cases, that is pre-2001 cases, with the goal of offering a comprehensive resource for jurisprudence for access to Canadian law. See this page to learn about recent additions of historical cases.
For a list of our databases with details of their scope, please see this page.
Legislation
CanLII provides access to consolidated statutes and regulations as well as annual statutes for all jurisdictions in Canada. Each jurisdiction has a dedicated page detailing the specific coverage available for it.
Commentary
CanLII provides access to various types of secondary law materials, from law books, journals, articles, reports, and other resources. These materials are available electronically in CanLII.org’s Commentary section. Click here to browse this material.
Finally, our companion website, CanLII Connects, hosts a database of case commentary and case summaries by the legal community. This commentary is linked to and based on the caselaw on CanLII.org.

This is a 16TB collection includes over 311,000 datasets harvested during 2024 and 2025, a complete archive of federal public datasets linked by data.gov. It will be updated daily as new datasets are added to data.gov.
This is the first release in our new data vault project to preserve and authenticate vital public datasets for academic research, policymaking, and public use.
We’ve built this project on our long-standing commitment to preserving government records and making public information available to everyone. Libraries play an essential role in safeguarding the integrity of digital information. By preserving detailed metadata and establishing digital signatures for authenticity and provenance, we make it easier for researchers and the public to cite and access the information they need over time.
In addition to the data collection, we are releasing open source software and documentation for replicating our work and creating similar repositories. With these tools, we aim not only to preserve knowledge ourselves but also to empower others to save and access the data that matters to them.
This guide lists acronyms and abbreviations commonly used by the United States federal government. Each acronym is defined and links to the home page (or best alternative) of the identified entity.
While the U.S. Government Manual provided the initial foundation of GovSpeak, this expanded list includes thousands of acronyms not included in that publication; most have been discovered by manual reviews of department websites.
Grant Watch is a project to track the termination of grants of scientific research agencies under the Trump administration in 2025. We currently are tracking terminations of grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Our data on terminated NIH and NSF grants are collected from submissions from affected researchers as well as government websites and databases. We encourage researchers, program officers, and grant administrators to submit information via the forms here (NIH) and here (NSF) to help us keep our data up to date.
Grant Watch is a project of Noam Ross, Scott Delaney, Anthony Barente, and Emma Mairson, with input and support from additional volunteers.
Journal Abbreviation Sources is a registry of Web resources that list or provide access to the full title of journal abbreviations or other types of abbreviated publication titles (e.g., conference proceedings titles).

All That JAS originally compiled by Gerry McKiernan, Science and Technology Librarian and Bibliographer, Science and Technology Department, Iowa State University Library, Ames, IA 50011.
