  You should talk to Marcus to see what he is thinking of with
http://opensourcelaw.ca/  . These students really need to learn the tools

  You are taking on a huge challenge.  I've been living-and-breathing this
stuff since the summer of 2001 and I would never claim to be an "expert"
to the level we need in Canada.

  You will be fighting an uphill battle given the deliberate
misinformation that is coming out of special economic interest groups like
Access Copyright, the Recording Industry and many others.
