For nearly 30 years, the Law via the Internet conference has brought together organizations and experts committed to a shared objective: improving access to legal information.
They pursue this goal in different but complementary ways. Some make the law freely accessible online, while others advance research, examine how legal publishing systems are evolving or develop technologies that make these resources easier to find and understand for end-users.
LVI 2026 brings this community together in Montréal. Here are some of the organizations contributing to this year’s conference.
Co-organizer
CanLII
For 25 years, CanLII has provided free online access to Canadian legislation, court judgments, tribunal decisions and legal commentary.
Its 25th anniversary provides a fitting backdrop for LVI 2026, highlighting both the progress made in access to legal information and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Legora develops artificial intelligence tools that support legal professionals in research, drafting and document analysis.
Its work reflects one of the central questions facing the legal information community today: how can artificial intelligence support legal work while preserving trust, transparency and professional judgment?

Its participation in LVI 2026 reflects the growing role of AI in legal practice and the importance of discussing how these technologies can be used responsibly to improve access to legal information while maintaining trust and professional standards.
A Common Goal
The organizations contributing to LVI 2026 represent different parts of the legal information ecosystem. Together, they bring expertise in free access to law, academic research, law reform and artificial intelligence.
That spirit of collaboration has defined the Law via the Internet conference since its beginning. LVI 2026 continues this tradition by bringing together a community committed to making legal information more open, trustworthy and useful.
