Background

[edit | edit source]

The firm is a spin-off from the Université de Montréal LexUM Laboratory. The forerunner of Lexum was founded in 1993[1] as the Law Gopher server at the Université de Montréal. This site was both, respectively, the first available legal resources site in Canada and in French.

The Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLII) is a not-for-profit organization created by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada in 2001 with Lexum technology backing-up the site ever since. In 2018 CanLII acquired Lexum.
