Enhancements to Client ID Feature

The Client ID feature on Lexis Advance Quicklaw has been enhanced. New Client ID options allow the research to set their default Client ID settings to one of the following four options:

  • Do not ask for my Client ID
  • I want to be asked for my Client ID on login
  • I want to be asked for my Client ID on my first search
  • I want to be asked for my Client ID on every search

To set your default Client ID setting:

  1. While logged in to Lexis Advance Quicklaw, go to More and select Settings.
  2. From Settings, select Lexis Advance® Quicklaw® Research.
  3. From Lexis Advance® Quicklaw® Research, scroll down to Client ID and select your preferred setting.
  4. Then click Save Changes to Settings & Close.

Enhancements to Cases Advance Search Form

The Cases Advanced Search Form has been enhanced and now includes an ability to select desired courts for a specific jurisdiction.

To use this new feature:

  1. Once in the Cases Advanced Search Form, select the Jurisdiction(s) you are interested in, and then click Select Courts.
  2. A menu appears listing the courts for the jurisdictions you have selected, select the court(s) you would like to search and then click OK.
  3. Note you will return to the Cases Advance Search Form, and your courts will now be listed under Court.


Enhancements to Advanced Search Forms Accessed Via Explore Content

In response to customer feedback, we have made enhancements to our Cases Advanced Search Form. Now when a researcher selects a jurisdiction via Explore Content, and then opts to use the Advance Search Form the Jurisdiction is pre-selected in the Big Red Search Box, and simultaneously greyed out in the Advanced Search Form. This ensures that the researcher is searching the content he/she has already selected. Note the new court feature can now be used to restrict results to specific court within the pre-selected jurisdiction.

To use this feature:

  • 1. Using Explore Content, select Court Decisions.
  • 2. Under Jurisdictions select the jurisdiction you would like to search (i.e. Ontario).
  • 3. Click the Advanced Search option which appears on the left side, above the Big Red Search Box.
  • 4. The Cases Advanced Search Form is retrieved, with the Jurisdiction selected pre-populated in the Big Red Search Box. Note: The new Court Feature can be used to restrict your search to a specific court within the pre-selected jurisdiction.
