As one of Canada’s leading legal publishers, we know that law school can be demanding and challenging. Our goal is to provide students like you with quality, Canadian-made resources to help you succeed in your legal studies. With this goal in mind, we’ve expanded our law school resources to include more than just casebooks. The Law School Student Portal is a centralized database of resources, ranging from reference charts to course summaries, designed to provide you with a variety of tools to help you excel. With the help of current and former law students, we’ve developed this curated database to include resources that are relevant, useful, and accessible. Whether you’re just beginning your legal studies or entering your final semester, we are confident that you’ll find resources to help you navigate your way to success. Welcome to Emond’s Law School Portal! Start by reading Emond’s Comprehensive Guide to Law School in Canada, available for download here: Your comprehensive guide to Law School in Canada Download for freeFree Resources for Law Students+ Downloadable Case Briefs
Downloadable Case BriefsCase briefs, summaries, and outlines will likely be some of your biggest assets during law school. Each semester, you’ll be required to do hundreds of pages of reading for each of your classes–a task that can seem overwhelming when you factor in extracurriculars, part-time work, and other commitments. These resources can help you gain a better understanding of cases and the law as you prepare for your finals. However, do not forget that while these resources are helpful, they are not a substitute for your readings. The documents in the database may be thorough and detailed but they will likely not include the same information or insights that your professors provide in class. Additionally, they might not include recent cases or certain cases that are unique to your course reading list. We strongly recommend using these resources to enhance and improve your own notes, briefs, and summaries, rather than relying on them independently to prepare for your finals. + Downloadable Summaries and Mind Maps
