CanLII Offers Sorting By "Most Cited Case"

CanLII, the open access source of Canadian legal information supported by law societies and bar associations across Canada, has just released a new search feature:

"In your search results, you are now able to sort cases based on the number of times a case has been cited. You can do so by clicking on the 'The most cited' link in the 'Sort' menu of your search results page. By choosing 'Sort by The most cited' the search engine will display the most frequently cited cases first".

"Each result indicates the number of times the case has been cited. You will notice that the number of times a case has been cited is also an active link. By following that link, you will access a list of the citing cases".
