Legal Resources for NLS Staff

This page contains a number of resources for NLS Staff that are not readily available in one place on some legal tools that we use (such as CRO or Quicklaw). Click on the headings below to access the resources you are looking for. Most of the documents will need to be downloaded due to complaints that embedded documents were too much for our computers to handle. PLEASE NOTE that many of the resources below are either copyrighted or contain confidential and privileged information. They are meant only for the use of NLS Staff. Please DO NOT share them with anyone outside of NLS without first clearing it with the Director of Legal Services. Enjoy!
