Saving cases to CiteRight
CiteRight allows you to save Canadian caselaw from CanLII, Quicklaw, and Westlaw. Instead of saving the case through the usual method, CiteRight saves your cases directly from the browser. This is done, simply by clicking the CiteRight button in your browser. If you don't see it, try clicking on the puzzle piece and then pinning it to your address bar as shown below.
Using CiteRight's browser extension to save cases means that you don't need to download or send any more PDFs to your colleagues. You simply click the CiteRight button and they're saved! Once they are saved, they are now available in the web application and in the Microsoft Word Add-In.

Organizing your saved cases
CiteRights allows you to create collections of items directly from the web application. These collections can be used to organize your cases. The best part? They can be accessed from inside Word so you have access to the information you need when you are actively drafting. Collections can also be shared with anyone in your firm so you can invite your colleagues too! The articles below will provide the information you need to get collecting!
