The Future of Law Reporting - Panel Session
In an age where caselaw is routinely published directly to the internet (with unique citations), are authorised law reports still relevant? Originally devised as a means of distribution and accuracy of reporting, the rationale behind the authorised reports is now being questioned. Judgments can still be revised, 'authenticated', and tagged as authorised before publishing to the internet. So what role then the Council of Law Reporting and why the continued need for the involvement of commercial publishers?
Chair: His Excellency The Honourable Peter Underwood AC, Governor of Tasmania
