Submitting a Summary

In order to receive the database password, you must submit a summary. Your submitted summary must:

  1. Not previously have been submitted to the database;
  2. Be a summary for a course* that is currently active at Osgoode;
  3. Not contain disrespectful language;
  4. Must not contain any identifying information, i.e. name, student number, etc.; and
  5. Have the file name written in the following format: [course name (professor) – year], e.g. Administrative Law (Sossin) – 2016.

In addition, if you are in 3L, your summary must be for an upper-year course or a 1L course for which there is a summary shortage (see the 1L database).
All submitted summaries should be organized and somewhat complete so that they are useful to other students. Each summary should be compiled into a single Word or PDF file. L&L recommends erasing all identifying information from summaries before they are submitted and takes no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any summary housed in its databases.

To submit a summary, email the file directly to our Vice President Internal at summarybank@legalandlit.ca. In your email, make sure to specify the course, professor, and school year from which the summary is from.
