Forms & Precedents on QuicklawTM Offers the Fastest, Easiest Way to Research and Draft Legal Forms and Precedents

Canada’s Leading Online Legal Information Service Equips Litigators with Complete Documentation for Civil Actions in Ontario and British Columbia

 

(TORONTO, March 12, 2007) – LexisNexis Canada, provider of leading information services and solutions, today introduced Forms & Precedents on Quicklaw—an ultimate toolkit of sample forms and precedents on the LexisNexis® Quicklaw online legal research service. Two collections, Williston & Rolls: Ontario Court Forms and McLachlin & Taylor: British Columbia Court Forms, provide litigators with customizable forms and precedents required for each stage of a civil action—before trial, as well as during trial proceedings, settlements, and non-contentious legal proceedings.

 

Both forms and precedents collections comprise highly referenced LexisNexis® Butterworths titles, Williston & Rolls: Ontario Court Forms and McLachlin & Taylor: British Columbia Court Forms, 2nd Edition, respectively, connecting users with trusted, authoritative materials. All content is available from a single web interface, on the enhanced version of Quicklaw launched in July 2006.

 

“Forms & Precedents on Quicklaw saves significant time and money throughout the entire litigation process,” said Mike Pilmer, president and CEO, LexisNexis Canada. “Each collection contains thousands of forms that users can adapt to virtually any scenario that arises during a civil action. Advanced search technology on Quicklaw allows lawyers to pinpoint the form or precedent needed in a matter of seconds. Plus, the electronic format eliminates time-consuming tasks such as filing, editing, and formatting forms.”

 

Forms & Precedents on Quicklaw contains a wealth of features to help litigators build the strongest case for their clients:

  • An expert overview of the legislation and detailed explanations provide the most reliable guidance available.
  • Superior in-depth commentary and breadth of coverage alert users to tactical and procedural errors.
  • Sample documents can be easily modified to fit a particular drafting need—there’s no need to draft from scratch.
  • State-of-the-art forms and customizable precedents drafted by some of Canada’s leading lawyers incorporate many years of experience and expertise.
  • Invaluable checklists help users avoid common pitfalls (and costly errors).
  • Frequent updates—four times per year for Ontario Court Forms and three times per year for British Columbia Court Forms—ensure currency.

Forms & Precedents on Quicklaw expands the host of features and benefits introduced in the enhanced version of Quicklaw, which include:

  • Content-specific search forms to target specific content types such as court cases, tribunal decisions, legislation, commentary, and journal articles
  • Dynamic display options and results filtering to better view, sort, and organize search results
  • Access to recent searches and documents viewed to keep track of important searches

Ontario Court Forms and British Columbia Court Forms will be offered to subscribers as premium content on Quicklaw. Flexible packages are available, based on customers’ drafting needs.
