The entire catalogue of Canadian legal publisher Irwin Law is available through the Canadian Electronic Library. Over 130 titles published from 1997 to date are currently included in the collection, and new titles and updated editions are added to the collection as they appear.

The Irwin Law Collection is available on an annual subscription basis under license terms specific to this Collection.

These titles are not available in other CEL subscription collections, nor are they available to Canadian law school and law libraries* under a perpetual access license.
