'''Clicklaw Wikibooks''' publications serve the public. But who is that exactly? What proportion are seniors? What proportion are men? This [https://wiki.clicklaw.bc.ca/images/d/dc/2019-05-10_Clicklaw_Wikibooks_Demographic_Insights_of_2018.pdf interesting demographic chart] reveals a few clues. For example, a book covering a wide range of legal topics, such as [[Dial-A-Law]], shows a similar balance of male (48.5%) and female (51.5%) users. When the topic is family law, the balance changes noticeably. In 2018, 58.8% of [[JP Boyd on Family Law]] readers were female.
