 Family Law Judgments at the BC Courthouse Library Society

BarTalk December 2002
Volume 14, Number 6

The Supreme Court of BC recently decided to discontinue the publication of family law judgments on the Court Web site, except for a small number of judgments deemed to have precedent value. Since September 3, 2002, the BCCLS has received and stored all family law judgments directly from the Supreme Court of BC. These unreported decisions are available to users for copy requests at $.60 per page.

The BC Courthouse Library Society is in the process of creating a web-based full-text searchable database, to be made available to members of the Law Society through their Web site. The database should be available by early 2003. Please contact the Vancouver Courthouse Library Reference Section regarding the Supreme Court of BC family law judgments, at 604.660.2821, toll free at 1.800.665.2570 (email bccls@bccls.bc.ca).
