About this Guide
Civil procedure deals with the federal and provincial rules for bringing and resolving legal disputes in the courts.
This is a guide to the key civil procedure materials available through the TMU Library. Researchers who are investigating a new topic in civil procedure law are encouraged to start with an encyclopedia, either the Canadian Encyclopedic Digest or Halsbury's. These resources located in Westlaw and Lexis databases link to relevant primary source materials such as case law and legislation.
Books are also available on civil procedure topics, including required reading.
For more on legal databases, case law, legislation, and scholarly journal articles, see the Law Research Guide.
