There are two types of law reports: authorised and unauthorised. 

  • Authorised reports are edited and checked by the judge before publication. Always use the authorised report of a case if available.
  • Unauthorised series of law reports tend to be published more quickly as they are the first version of the judgment released by the court. Unauthorised reports may be available from the court website, AustLII or can be found in parallel citations.
