Halsbury's Laws of Canada is a comprehensive collection that will provide current and future generations of Canadian lawyers in your firm with a solid understanding of the full range of the law.

This powerful resource covers every proposition of the law. Each volume is divided into alphabetically arranged titles that make it convenient to use and allows for quick and easy research into any topic. Employing Halsbury's time-tested style and format, this Canadian legal classic includes:

• Comprehensive summary that offers an organized and authoritative reference, delivering the key elements of the law in each of more than 100 logically selected subject areas
• Advanced research tools with page layouts that present information in compact portions for easy navigation through the subject matter, yet detailed enough to show the larger context
• Black letter statement of the law that provides definitive legal information focusing on the law as it stands today without opinion or commentary, and without archival case law or out-dated statutory references that don't illuminate or add real value
• Durable, portable and easy to handle volumes that are designed in a classic hardbound format

Halsbury's Laws of Canada builds on a century of tradition to combine definitive legal information with an enhanced design and clean, easy-to-follow page layouts for quick access to the answers you need.

• Superior tables of contents. Detailed and multi-layered sectional contents are strategically located throughout each title to provide for powerful navigation and a quick overall appreciation of the principles discussed in each section
• Extracting the key points while following the context is easy with a style that is structured to provide greater contextual flow
• Generous use of headings and subheadings lets the reader move easily through a title
• Bolded descriptors at the beginning of paragraphs allows the reader to quickly scan the contents and zero in on the information of interest
• National scope and jurisdiction-specific commentary provides a complete and integrated analysis
• References strategically consolidated at the end of each major paragraph grouping facilitates easy access to the supporting information

Streamlining your research

Consolidation of smaller topics under larger subject heads

Related subjects are brought together so that they can be conveniently accessed in one location, rather than splitting connected subjects over multiple titles and multiple volumes.

Convenient tools for finding topics

Each title includes a comprehensive table of cases and table of statutes, plus a complete index.

Helpful cross-references within each title and between titles

Related provisions of interest and interconnected titles are noted to provide the necessary context and the full picture.

Useful Appendices

As dictated by the needs of each unique subject title, Halsbury's provides a variety of useful appendices, from glossaries consolidating key statutory definitions to handy legislative concordances.

The Authoritative Voice

Bringing together the expertise of Canada's leading practitioners, jurists and academics.

A project with the scope and impact of Halsbury's Laws of Canada draws on the contributions of many talented and knowledgeable people. The quality of this unique project is in large part a reflection of the expertise of those who undertake to author each individual subject title within the larger main work. With that in mind, a select group of Canada's leading legal scholars, jurists and practitioners has been commissioned to craft an authoritative statement of the law in each subject area.

The result? The definitive reference point for legal research in Canada - an unparalleled tool that can be relied on by lawyers to answer the full range of questions likely to arise in the course of their work, especially those that fall outside their own fields of expertise.
