Finding Law Reports

Using Journal Finder and databases

Once you have determined the full title of the abbreviated law report:

  1. Carry out a title search for the law report series on Journal Finder. Note the call number. All law reports have a call number beginning with K and will be shelved on Level 4 of the Library.
  2. Use the volume number and/or year given in the case citation to locate the correct volume on the shelves.

Some law reports are now available via the Web. The following table lists some of the more commonly cited law reports followed by the standard abbreviation, call number and the database providing access to the full text.

To access any of the databases listed below use the following pathway:

  • From the Library homepage (http://www.library.mq.edu.au), select Databases, then either Search for Databases, Browse Databases by Name, or select Law from the Browse Databases by Subject. Select the required database from the alphabetical listing.
