Many people know the pioneering work of CanLII publishing Canadian law online – but CanLII would not be possible without the engineering work done behind the scenes by Lexum, now a part of CanLII. For more than two decades, Ivan Mokanov has propelled electronic legal publishing and legal document management for Lexum (and by extension, for the Canadian Legal Information Institute), and he has been instrumental in building the framework that opens access to the law across Canada. Lexum is a founding member of the global Free Access to Law Movement (FALM) and, with Ivan’s leadership, Lexum is providing all design, development, and operation of the publishing platform for the CanLII website in addition to the SaaS products it develops for hundreds of legal institutions.
