About Isthatlegal

The brief history of the Isthatlegal website is that I started writing legal 'Guides' (really, online textbooks) about 30 years ago in the areas of my initial legal-political interests - which were social assistance, tenancy, small claims court and employment law. The Guides eventually expanded to about 15 different topics, most of which are still being maintained, albeit not as currently as I would like (they are located alphabetically in the left 'Topics' sidebar).

In 2015 I started regularly reviewing cases from the four Canadian and Ontario appeal courts [Supreme Court of Canada, Federal Court of Appeal, Ontario Court of Appeal, Ontario Divisional Court] for interesting and useful 'dicta' from our hard-working and conscientious judges. Over time, the process of organizing these increasingly voluminous case dicta into topical categories has resulted in rich new resources - which is what you will find (growing daily) in the 200+ sidebar topics.
