Secondary Sources – Halsbury's Laws of Canada
Halsbury's Laws of Canada is a LexisNexis publication that, once complete, will consist of 57 hardbound volumes.
- Each volume of Halsbury's Laws of Canada is authored by a leading legal expert and deals with a discrete area of Canadian law.
The volumes are arranged alphabetically by subject and divided into headings, paragraphs, and sections.
- Because the volumes are hardbound, they are updated using annual supplements that are shelved following the main volumes.
Some people find Halsbury's Laws of Canada to be more approachable than the CED as it more closely conforms to the format of a traditional, subject-based encyclopedia.
- However, both sources should be consulted as they will contain complementary information.
