Lawbook UI Changes

By Tom Heaton on October 5, 2010

As part of the Cases Migration the Lawbook site had some minor UI changes rolled out on the evening of the 7th October 2010. As Case Law content is no longer located on the site (having been moved to Legal online), the Individual Report Series have been removed from the search screen. 

We have replaced these with a direct link to the Legal Online “Cases” tab.  Old bookmarks to the Report Series in Lawbook will no longer be valid, we have redirected those bookmarks to this page so you can update them. Click here  to see a list of new deep links to Cases products on Legal Online or click here  to go straight to Legal Online and update your bookmark/s later.

We have also taken the oppertunity to clean up the Lawbook UI removing the old individual links to Online Commentaries and replaced them with a single link to the Legal Online Online Commentaries Tab. Click here for a full list of Commentaries Deep Links into Legal Online.

    We have discovered that a case is missing from the online version of the A Crim R’s. It is JDK 194 A Crim R 333. It is in the bound volume, so the citation is correct.
    Am not sure whether this may have happened with the changeover to Legal Online, and/or if it is just a one-off.

      Gayle,
      Thanks for raising this case. We do have an issue with a small number of ACRIMR, ATR, CLR & NSWLR cases meaning they have not yet converted over to Legal Online. As you will see the vast majority of cases in these report series are up on legal Online but a few have not yet converted over.

      We are working to get these converted ASAP and expect the missing CLR cases to be uploaded tonight, the NSWLR cases by the end of the week and the remaining ACRIMR & ATR cases to be up in the next two weeks. As a result of this issue we have left these four report series active on Lawbook Online so that you can search and locate the cases when they do not appear in Legal Online.
