What Are You Looking at Online?
I’m sure that for at least some of you, you are reading this blog in an attempt to escape the craziness of the holidays, taking a few moments for yourself at your computer before more family chaos sets in.
To bring you back to the legal world, even if for a brief moment, I’d like to share a blog I recently came across which discusses the Top 10 most consulted cases on CanLII in 2011. As we have all become increasingly reliant on internet research, regardless of our field of study or practice, understanding the operational side of this availability is helpful. From a pure entertainment view of things, I for one, love to know what people find interesting. There’s no better way to do that, that to see what they are looking at. For ease of reference, I’ve reproduced the list below:
- Bruni v. Bruni, 2010 ONSC 6568
- Indalex Limited (Re), 2011 ONCA 265
- Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9
- Bedford v. Canada, 2010 ONSC 4264
- R. v. Grant, 2009 SCC 32
- Kerr v. Baranow, 2011 SCC 10
- R. v. Oakes, 1986 CanLII 46 (SCC), [1986] 1 SCR 103
- R. v. Stinchcombe, 1991 CanLII 45 (SCC), [1991] 3 SCR 326
- Baker v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 1999 CanLII 699 (SCC), [1999] 2 SCR 817
- Reference re Secession of Quebec, 1998 CanLII 793 (SCC), [1998] 2 SCR 217
At the top, the Bruni case, a 2010 family law matter, received 18,641 views and the Secession Reference, a famed constitutional case from 1999, rounded out the list by receiving 5,105 views. Though the fields of law searched show some diversity, unfortunately, it seems that the estate litigation field saw no notoriety on this list. Perhaps next year our popularity may increase. Then again, maybe not.
Until Tomorrow,
