Hey, I was wondering if you know how to go about getting access to legal decisions that are not indexed via Canlii... I assume there is a more comprehensive database out there, likely requiring academic privileges to access - theoretically I have the Carleton alum access to various things, but have no idea whether that would provide access to law material (and have let all registration seriously lapse). Alternately, do you know if there is a publicly accessible law library in Ottawa?

i never had to go beyond the canlii (or the other one), but i know there are published versions of every single case in these large serial collections. they publish them in volumes. i'd be very surprised if you couldn't find the information at the physical library for either carleton or ottawa - or at least for the bigger courts. which court are you looking for, specifically?

Occupy Ottawa Legal Team
The OLRB, and some decisions going back to about '75.

did you check here? http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onlrb/

Yes - their full coverage starts in 2000.

i'd try ottawa before carleton, they do have a law library, and maybe they could get somebody from here to fax something... http://www.owtlibrary.on.ca/english/findDocs.htm#specificolrbdecs

the olb site sends people there...

excellent - that I hadn't seen before.

it seems like the journal is at carleton, and there's a lexis link online to hit a possible online entry: http://catalogue.library.carleton.ca/search/a?searchtype=t&searcharg=O.L.R.B.+Rep+&searchscope=0&SORT=D

oh, that might work - the decisions I am looking for are widely cited. I essentially have most of the decisions pieced together from other decisions that cite them - but ideally we need the original document.
