Clicklaw has introduced a new feature on its website—both desktop and mobile—which is designed to help you figure out what’s new and updated.

Resource listings now have a last reviewed date, in addition to a produced in year:

last_reviewed_01

Hovering over the orange “i” icon will tell you what the date means:

last_reviewed_02

You can also sort results by last reviewed date; listings with the most recent date will show at the top:

last_reviewed_03

Read more about the last reviewed date on our new page, Tips on Assessing Legal Information.

We are in the process of working with all contributors to ensure the last reviewed dates on their resource listings are updated.
