Fall 2026 will mark a major milestone for the legal community in Canada and around the world.
As CanLII celebrates its 25th anniversary, Lexum is proud to co-host the Law via the Internet (LVI) 2026 conference in Montreal.
Since their inception, CanLII and Lexum have been dedicated to providing open access to legal information for all Canadians. In the same spirit, LVI has brought together a global community committed to free access to law for over 20 years.
