Legislation

Search for legislation using any of the legal databases. Using the databases is more efficient than reading an Act from start to finish hoping to spot a relevant section.

When researching, you do not have to repeat this type of search in each database, as they will all quote the same legislation. Remember, though, that legislation can only be quoted from the Federal Register of Legislation.

See AGLC Rule 1.5 for more information on quoting legislation.

Make sure you understand all the different components of legislation before attempting to find or quote legislation - see the About Legislation section of this guide for more details:
