   Saskatchewan 1st to introduce Clare's Law, aimed at stopping domestic violence   
      
   Sask. has highest domestic violence rate among provinces and a victim in its   
   own ranks   
      
   Saskatchewan has become the first Canadian jurisdiction to pass Clare's Law,   
   allowing someone to ask police for past domestic abuse records of a partner.   
   But there’s still work to be done before the law becomes effective.   
      
   As she was being hit with an aluminum baseball bat, Lani Elliott saw flashes   
   of her little boy’s future she feared she wouldn’t live to see, such as   
   his graduation and wedding day.   
      
   “I remember saying a prayer,” she recalls about the 1993 beating that she   
   says happened at the hands of her husband.

   Saskatchewan, which struggles with high rates of domestic violence, is the   
   first province in Canada to adopt Clare’s Law. It passed third reading in   
   the legislature Thursday and is to be in place later this year.   
      
   Alberta has indicated it could be next. Premier Jason Kenney promised before   
   he was elected last month that he would table similar legislation.
