NewJudgments.htm
"The Law Society of Saskatchewan believes in access to justice and is committed to
providing free access to Saskatchewan judgments. In cooperation with the Saskatchewan courts,
the Law Society provides a list of judgments in fulltext format [emphasis added].
Information about each court can be located at the Saskatchewan government web site.
[Saskatchewan courts]
The judgments from each court are loaded within 24 to 48 hours after they are received from the courts. They are arranged with the most current judgments first. The lists will cover judgments issued within a
one to three month period, depending on the number of judgments issued by each court every month.
The Law Society of Saskatchewan also maintains a database of the judgments in fulltext form which is fully searchable. This database is available free of charge. The judgments from the lists in this section are also loaded into the fulltext judgment database within 24 to 48 hours of receipt. The fulltext judgment database can be used to locate judgments that have been removed from the current lists. Other research databases, such as the Digest of judgments database, are available for use on a subscription basis.
