For other specialized journals please consult the Journals Tab and click on the "i" button to see list of journal in broad categories.
Other important titles are Halsbury's Laws of Singapore and Halsbury's Laws of England and the Encylopaedia of Forms and Precedents.
Current awareness resources include the Journals Index and the UK Legal Newspapers Index.
LexisNexis Australia's coverage includes Australian case law and legislation as well as Australian law journals, see below:
The database focuses on specialised areas of law, such as administrative law, building contracts, civil procedure, commercial law, criminal law, corporation law, family law, immigration law, intellectual property & media law, and precedents. Of particular interest is the database Casebase (which is both a citator and a includes references to journal articles) as well as Halsbury's Laws of Australia
Here is a quick 'How to" guide for Lexis. The idea is to orientate you to the platform and get you started on basic searches on both Lexis Singapore and LexisNexis Australia.
Make an appointment to meet the Research Librarian. Please include a description of your topic and possible time slots.
