It took the group a year to build the site, the first of its kind in the world.
"This is a major trial, one of the largest in Canadian history. It's extremely important people have an opportunity to follow it," said Rick Craig, with the Law Courts Education Society of B.C.
The Web site, called "On Trial," will track the cases of two B.C. men charged in two 1983 bombings.

One bomb explosion killed two baggage handlers at Japan's Narita airport and another case involved the bombing of Air India flight 182, which killed all 329 passengers.
The trial is scheduled to begin April 28 and the Web site will launch the next day.
If the experiment is a success, the group hopes to launch a similar site for the trial of accused serial killer Robert Pickton, expected to begin sometime in 2004.
