Publications

Queensland Reports
The principal publication produced by the ICLRQ is the Queensland Reports. This is a continuing printed set of over 100 bound volumes, which contains the authorised reports of the Supreme Court of Queensland from 1902.

From 1908 to 1972, the ICLRQ also published a supplementary series of reports which recorded shorter points decided by the Court, particularly practice decisions – the Queensland Weekly Notes. These reports are bound into the annual volumes of the Queensland Reports.

These printed editions are available in most public law libraries throughout Australia and available for purchase from the ICLR through the ICLRQ Online Customer Portal.

Queensland Reports Parts
From 2018, the ICLRQ is no longer producing Loose Leaf Parts of the Queensland Reports. Each new part of the Queensland Reports is released as a monthly digital publication distributed via email and is accessible free of charge, through the Queensland Judgments website.

Digital Access
The Queensland Reports  are available in digital form accessible online through the Queensland Judgments website and also through two of Australia’s principal subscription-based legal websites: LexisNexis Advance and Thomson Reuters Westlaw AU.

Queensland Judgments Website
The Queensland Judgments website was published in March 2018 and provides the legal profession and the public a complete set of the Queensland Reports and all earlier Queensland reported judgments (from 1859) in both their original format (as PDFs) and in a new searchable online format. The website also provides a complete set of recent unreported Supreme Court judgments (from 2002), an appeals database, and a new Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 online service.

On 4 September 2020, a new version of the Queensland Judgments website was launched, which expanded its coverage to all Queensland Courts and Tribunals. This content will be continuously updated upon the delivery of each judgment or decision authorised for publication from all Queensland Courts and Tribunals.

On 1 March 2021, an additional 35,000 historical unreported judgments were added, including the complete collection of unreported judgments of the Court of Appeal as well as further instalments of the backset of unreported judgments of: the Supreme Court (now complete from 1979); the District Court (now complete from 2000); the Land Court and Land Appeal Court (now complete from 1985); the Planning & Environment Court (now complete from 2000); the Industrial Court (now complete from 2008); and the entire digital collections of the Childrens Court; the Magistrates Court; the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal; the Legal Practice Tribunal; the Queensland Health Practitioners Tribunal; and the Retail Shop Leases Tribunal.

Queensland Law Reporter
Since 1908, the ICLRQ has also produced a weekly publication – the Queensland Law Reporter (QLR). The QLR contains advance notice of cases which have been selected by the Editors for reporting. It also contains public notices placed pursuant to the requirements of the Rules of the Supreme Court in probate matters or prior to applications for admission to the legal profession. From 2012, this publication began to be published electronically and free of charge. Previous and recent editions of the QLR are also accessible on this website at no additional cost.

Queensland Law Almanac (Queensland Legal Directory)
From 1908 to 1982, the ICLRQ published the Queensland Law Almanac (renamed the Queensland Legal Directory in 1975 and ceased to be published in 1984). These publications are now only available in public libraries.
