The successor to the original Maritime Law Book Ltd., Compass is a Canadian legal publisher that builds on a history dating to 1969 while opening doors to the future. Founded in 2016, Compass collaborates with other legal publishers, non-profits and legal service providers to convert legal data into advanced legal solutions, insights, tools and opportunities. Compass collaborates with vLex to support vLex Canada, an advanced legal research platform that combines a deep historical collection of richly annotated case law with new decisions from Canadian courts and a growing collection of leading legal texts. Beyond Canadian legal information, vLex Canada is a gateway to over 120,000,000 primary and secondary legal documents from over 100 countries. vLex Canada was a 2018 finalist for Canadian Association of Law Libraries Hugh Lawford Award of Excellence for Legal Publishing, and is again a 2021 finalist for the same award based on the updated vLexJustis platform. In September 2020, Compass supported the launch of the non-profit Legal Innovation Data Institute (LIDI.ca) as founding member, and technology and data supplier. Through LIDI, members and research partners have access to the full Compass collection in tabular and API formats to support their own advanced AI, knowledge management or public-interest justice tech creations and experiments. Compass also collaborates with technology platform companies seeking to make legal datasets available to their clients. Headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Compass collaborates with its domestic and international investors and partners to create and deliver world-class services that bring innovation, choice and competitive discipline to the Canadian legal information marketplace.
