What's new?

Westlaw AU replaces Legal Online.  Have a look at the new platform and the new titles we have here.  The guide for the new platform is in the top right of the new entry screen. 

New Titles on Westlaw AU include: Australian Sentencing and Trade Secrets and Privacy.  You will find both of these under the tab commentary and legislation.

LexisNexisAU: The LexisNexis AU collection has been expanded to include a more comprehensive collection.  Two titles which you will not be access through LexisNexis AU are the unreported judgments (access these on Westlaw AU and AustLII) and the ALL ERs (access through Justis and Lexis.com).

CCH: We have added a collection of e-books to the online service. 

Legislation and Cases are the documents which contain the written records of the law. These are known as Primary Legal materials.

Extrinsic legal materials are documents, defined within a jurisdiction's Interpretation Act, which can be used in court to interpret the meaning and intent of legislation.  These usually consist of Parliamentary debates (Hansard) and Law Reform documents.

Secondary legal materials are those materials which are ABOUT the law.  Secondary materials include:

• Books, journals and commentaries which discuss the law
• Reference tools which help find the law (dictionaries, encyclopaedias, guides and directories).
