I should clarify. What has happened is that as part of the dues lawyers pay, they pay a certain amount--it's about $30 a year--to fund this site organization called CanLII. CanLII then has agreements with underlying courts and governments and tribunals that they will make their cases and decisions available to CanLII, and then CanLII posts those on the site. The lawyers are funding, effectively, to keep the website going.
