Hints & Tips

Here are two hints and tips we’d like to pass on to our users for Justis 2.0

1. Change the default sort order by using My Justis

By default, search results are sorted by the relevance of the results to the search terms. However, by using My Justis you can change the default sorting order of the results from Relevance to Year, so that results are displayed in chronological order.

To change the default sorting order of the results, go to My Justis and select Results from the Preferences section. In the Default Sorting section, select Year or Relevance.

2. Conduct a partial citation search

With Justis 2.0 it is not necessary to enter the data into all subfields when conducting a search by Citation using the Search In Cases form.

For example, to see a list of all cases published in the Queen’s Bench series of The Law Reports during 2000, simply enter "2000" into the Year subfield and QB into the Series subfield.
