Subject Headings
The Forum has developed its own system of specialized subject headings, which reflect the specialized nature of the Civil Justice materials collected and better meet the needs of the users. These subject headings continue to evolve and are part of the basis for the Forum's work in developing a Thesaurus of Canadian Civil Justice Terminology.
