CAIJ was recently granted the Hugh Lawford Award for Excellence in Legal Publishing for its search engine JuriBistroTM UNIK. This award was initiated by CALL/ACBD (Canadian Association of Law Libraries) to acknowledge the work of publishers to provide the legal profession with high quality materials for use in understanding and researching the law. In 2005, it was renamed the Hugh Lawford Award for Excellence in Legal Publishing to honour Dr. Lawford for his contributions to the Canadian law library community.
“The Canadian Association of Law Libraries promotes law librarianship in Canada. CALL currently has approximately 500 members representing a wide variety of law library interests across Canada. It provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among members, fosters cooperation among Canadian law libraries, and plays an active role in promoting access to legal information for all Canadians.”
