Researching Canadian LawBy Kim Nayer
In 2017 Kim was invited to present the Canadian Legal Research: What US Law Professors Need to Know at the annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools. Before joining UVic, she practiced as a research lawyer, managed library and knowledge resources, and developed and delivered legal research and writing instruction at law firms in Toronto, Calgary, and Edmonton, and as a Legal Counsel at the Court of Appeal of Alberta. After law school and before practice Kim served as a Clerk to Associate Chief Justice Jerome at the Federal Court of Canada.
Over the years Kim has worked with the Uniform Law Commission of Canada and the Health Law Institute and has written content for Canadian legal research databases. She occasionally writes for Slaw.ca and the Canadian Bar Association publications. Most recently she wrote a chapter titled “Researching Provincial Legislation: British Columbia,” in the second and third editions of The Comprehensive Guide to Legal Research, Writing & Analysis (Toronto: Emond, 2016, and forthcoming 2019). Kim is a member of the Canadian Association of Law Libraries, the American Association of Law Libraries, and the Canadian Bar Association, and she is an officer of the North American Cooperation Section of the Association of American Law Schools.
