For information when visiting Court Houses in other jurisdictions, please visit the OCLA (Ontario Court House Librarian's) App.
Electronic Resources
A number of e-resources are provided through the Library Information Resource Network (LiRN).
LiRN is thrilled to announce a pilot of rangefindr.ca. Used in libraries, law firms, and courtrooms across Canada, it is now available — remotely and in your nearest courthouse library — to all lawyers in Ontario.
Get your login credentials within 24 hours by emailing greatlibrary@lso.ca with your name and Law Society number. NOTE: rangefindr.ca and HeinOnline use the same username and password, so if you are already able to access HeinOnline, skip this step.
Access
Access to the Halton County Law Association Library is restricted to members of the Law Society of Ontario and articling students. After-hour access is restricted to HCLA paid-up members.
