Law: Authorised law reports

Australian Authorised Law Reports

Authorised reports have been reviewed by the presiding judge and published in the designated authorised report series for that jurisdiction.

Always cite from an authorised report if it is available, in preference to an unauthorised report. Cite unreported judgments only if the case has not been otherwise reported.
