What is on Clicklaw and what is not

We link to laws and cases but that isn't the main purpose of the site. Instead, the resources available through Clicklaw were designed to be used by the public and those helping the public.


Resources from other organizations (in addition to our 25+ core contributors) are being added to the site by the Clicklaw team, guided by the content criteria & guidelines.

Clicklaw values your feedback

In 2009 we launched as a beta website. We continue to test how people are using the site. Based on your feedback, we will keep enhancing the site to make it easier to use.


Some of the changes we have made over the years: Subtopics, Finding resources in other languages, Blog highlighting new resources and services in BC with frequent guest columns (subscribe to get new posts into your inbox!), Social Media, HelpMap, Clicklaw widgets, Clicklaw Wikibooks, and making Clicklaw mobile-friendly.


Help us improve by contacting us or commenting on the Clicklaw blog.
