Sentences with phrase «track judicial history»

In the early 80's, the Canadian Law Information Council (CLIC) noted that the «style of cause» was an important tool to locate decisions and track judicial history in law reports, and that the lack of consistency among those prepared by different publishers was therefore a significant hindrance to the reliability of legal research (see Lounder, Case law reporting in Canada, 1982 and Helleiner, Standards for headnoting: case identification, CLIC, 1984).
