User Survey 2019

We recently launched a survey to study users’ needs on Clicklaw and Clicklaw Wikibooks.

We are asking our users about what legal information they’re looking for and how Clicklaw or Clicklaw Wikibooks is helping them find it. We would like to learn more about what we could do to improve their experience.

Users that answer the survey may enter a draw for a $100 Chapters Indigo Gift Card.

Visit the websites to see the surveys in action: Clicklaw and Clicklaw Wikibooks. If you’re helping clients using any of the websites, please encourage them to participate.

Stay tuned for more news. Winners will be announced on the Clicklaw blog.
