Notes

  • If the volume of a law report series are organised by volume number, round brackets are used eg. (2015).
  • If the volume of a law report series are organised by year, use square brackets eg. [2015].
  • These are normally reports with multiple volumes per year, so the year is vital to finding the case.
  • A list of authorised Australian and UK law reports is found on the Griffith Law Library Guide.
