If you save it there or in the jurabib directory, you must make LaTeX aware
of the file. LaTeX keeps an index of the different files that you have to
regenerate by running texhash as root. Then, by typing kpsewhich
canadian_legal.bst you must see the path to the new bst file.

A more simpler way, when we are still working on the bst file, is to save it
in your working directory where your lyx file is. Then LaTeX should pick
it.

No, with that you load twice the jurabib package

If you went through the texhash dance

Tools--> reconfigure
Close and open again LyX, yous should see your canadian_legal in the
Bibliography Style widget

Try looking the LaTeX log, there will be some informations about what went
wrong.
