The Queensland Judgments website is a joint initiative of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for the State of Queensland (ICLRQ) and the Supreme Court of Queensland Library Committee (SCLQ).
The object of the Queensland Judgments website is to publish, on behalf of the principal courts and tribunals of Queensland, an authoritative, complete and functional collection of Queensland case law (including the Queensland Reports) which can be made available to the community free of charge.
ICLRQ The ICLRQ is the charitable institution which is responsible for publishing the authorised reports of the judgments of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Queensland Reports).
The origin of the ICLRQ can be traced to 1901. At that time, the only available law reports in Queensland were published by newspapers or other private concerns. At the initiative of the Supreme Court, a Council of Law Reporting (based upon the English model) was established to assume responsibility for law reporting, with the first volume of the new series of authorised reports being published in 1902.
The ICLRQ continues to operate under the ultimate control of the Judges of the Supreme Court. The ICLRQ has a nine person Council comprising three practising barristers (appointed annually by the Judges of the Supreme Court), three practising solicitors (also appointed annually by the Judges of the Supreme Court) and three ex officio members (the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General and the Registrar of the Supreme Court).
For more information about the ICLRQ, see www.queenslandreports.com.au and Helen Gregory’s Capturing Law and History: One Hundred Years of Queensland Law Reporting (SCLQ, 2007).
The SCLQ is the charitable institution which is responsible for operating Queensland’s principal legal research library (Supreme Court of Queensland Library). It is also responsible for maintaining an official collection of the published reasons for judgment of the Supreme, District and Magistrates Courts, together with a number of more specialised Queensland courts and tribunals.
The origin of the Supreme Court Library can be traced to 1862, when the first Judge of the Supreme Court (Lutwyche J) was able to secure public funding to establish the first law library in the colony.
In 1968, the SCLQ was established as a statutory corporation, and operates under the control of a 12 member committee comprising the Chief Justice of Queensland (or a Judge of the Supreme Court appointed by the Chief Justice), the Chief Judge of District Courts (or a Judge of District Courts appointed by the Chief Judge), the Chief Magistrate (or a Magistrate appointed by the Chief Magistrate), four practising barristers (two appointed by the Chief Justice and two appointed by the Bar Association of Queensland), four practising solicitors (two appointed by the Chief Justice and two appointed by the Queensland Law Society) and a nominee of the Minister for Justice (ex officio).
