Tips from CLBC

Transportation law is a vast and varied landscape, encompassing regulatory, administrative and commercial law, among others. It may span centuries of admiralty law and maritime history, or transport you to the regulatory frontiers of public policy and the digital age (e.g., drones and self-driving cars). This field serves as an excellent example to demonstrate the breadth and flexibility of Courthouse Libraries BC’s (CLBC’s) offerings. We possess volumes of historical print legislation and are your gateway to current commentary from legal publishers. All Law Society of BC members have special access to powerful research databases through CLBC’s website, and anyone can use the 100 computers across our 30 library branches to access even more premium legal resources. These resources include the LexisNexis and Westlaw databases, and many more, covering an endless array of topics—from railway traffic interswitching to urban ride-sharing, from dangerous goods trucking to luggage liability. Better still, our librarians are skilled in navigating legislation and regulation (including pre-Confederation laws) and are just a phone call or email away. Plus, you can have most titles in our catalogue sent to your law office and returned free of charge.
