Words & Phrases compared
Over at Slaw, Gary Rodrigues has a good post comparing the words & phrases offerings of Westlaw and Quicklaw. Rodrigues notes:
“Both services are unique in what they offer. Until one service seeks to match the other in content, both may be needed. If your interest is Canadian caselaw only, Words and Phrases in the Canadian Abridgment may be enough. If you are looking for more variety and more sources, you need LexisNexis Quicklaw. The ideal database of words and phrases is a combination of the two services, something unlikely to happen anytime soon.”
I’m glad to see someone address this.
