Decisia in action
Canada’s First-Ever Legal Website
The Supreme Court of Canada judgments website was launched by Lexum in 1992, and was the very first legal website to be developed in Canada. At the time there were only three other websites in the country. It was also the world’s first bilingual legal website.
“We chose to use Decisia to make our public record of decisions easily accessible and fully searchable. The database blends seamlessly with our website and is easy to use. Prior to using Decisia our tribunal decisions were posted to our website by category type but could not be searched. Having easily accessible and searchable decisions increases our transparency and advances access to justice.”
“We can’t say enough positive things about Lexum and its fabulous staff. Decisia is not just the best fit for our needs, but at every turn, their staff has gone above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied and provided tailored services adapted to our needs. They have been responsive and “on it.” In short, we can’t recommend them enough!”
A plan that suits your needs
Decisia is available through a range of plans, starting at $650 a month.
