About Primary Legal Research Sources
Primary sources of law are the laws and regulations themselves. These include: constitutions, statutes/acts and their amendments, regulations, legal cases and judicial decisions.
There are many sources of law/regulations at various political levels and in various locations/areas. This is called
jurisdiction
.
When consulting primary legal sources it's important to be clear on the jurisdiction of interest. Consider whether the legislation is at the federal, provincial or municipal level.
Be aware that law
changes over time
through amendments and new case law. Make sure the resource you are consulting is appropriate to the point in time you are researching.
