Keep track of your online legal research efficiently and for free
Lexbox allows you to create and manage your online research workspace. It enables you to assemble in one central location relevant legal information from online sources and your desktop, and to create personalized alerts. It is a trusted tool for legal professionals who conduct research online.
Your online legal research workspace
Organize your research record
With Lexbox, you can save your legal research finds in client/matter folders, subject/matter folders or any folder structure that matches your practice needs. You can store queries, cases, legislation, hyperlinks and your own documents. All saved items come with metadata, such as citation, issuing court and key-words, and you can also add your own notes. When you revisit your research record later, you will be able to work with content again quickly and efficiently.
Get alerts for new pertinent content
Want to stay up to date in your research? That’s what Lexbox’s alerts are meant for. You can set up alerts that will notify you when a new document matching search criteria is posted, when a new decision citing one that you saved in Lexbox becomes available or when a specific statute gets cited by a new case. You can choose to receive alerts at your preferred frequency, by email or directly in your Lexbox workspace.
Get more from your favourite legal research websites
Lexbox adds a powerful set of features to your favourite legal research websites: CanLII, NMOneSource, the SCC decisions website, Washington PERC, and a growing list of supported websites. You can save, create folders, set up alerts, organize stuff and move items around, without interrupting your research process.

Lexbox converts your own MS Word and PDF documents to HTML, automatically inserts links pointing to public legal information on citations, and makes them privately available and searchable online.

Share with colleagues
Your saved items can be shared in one click with colleagues along with a personalized note or comment.
Connects with your Clio account
The Lexbox integration for Clio allows you to start a Clio timer right from the CanLII website, or synch a Lexbox history session to any matter in your Clio account.

Lexbox on CanLII Becomes myCanLII
In line with the Lexbox service upgrade that we recently announced, among which we provide all users with the features previously limited to Premium subscribers, Lexbox on CanLII has been rebranded to myCanLII: This cosmetic change has no impact on the level of service you receive, the data stored in accounts, or login credentials, as Lexbox continues...
“Lexbox provides me with a personalized view on CanLII content that reflects and enhances my use of this resource. This is a very convenient addition, especially to be systematically notified of the latest decisions citing sources relevant to my practice.”
“CanLII is a fantastic legal resource tool and Lexbox makes it even better. With Lexbox, I can save relevant cases or legislation in one place, set up alerts, or look at my CanLII history. It makes my legal research process more efficient.”
“I am a Labour Representative in the State of Washington. The Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) has added Lexbox to their website research. As a non-legal professional that must do research using the PERC web-published decisions Lexbox is just simply an amazing addition to the public value of the PERC. I hope the entire legal community will soon be using this product for the publication and researching of decisions at all court and adjudicative levels.”
