Services to Members

Copiers  |  Book Loans

The Law Society Library supports the members' legal research needs. Members can access books, journals, law reports, statutes, and other legal reference materials in 17 locations throughout Saskatchewan. Library staff maintain a legal news service and several online caselaw and legislative research databases.  CaseMail is sent electronically to all members twice a month.  Subscriptions to several online research products are available to the members' desktops through the Members' Section.
 
The Library staff can help members with their legal research.  Contact us:

If you have questions about any electronic service that we offer
If you need help finding a textbook
If you need help noting up a case, statute or regulation
If you need a journal article or judgment
If you need to trace the history of a statute or regulation

We have years of experience with print and online resources.  We can quickly and efficiently find the best textbook or journal article, trace a statute section or note-up a case. Please keep in mind that as librarians we are not legally trained so we cannot give legal opinions.
