Order now and receive 10% off the new UK Statutory Instruments Archive!
From June 2002, a new archive database containing all Sis issued before 1987 will be available in
both CD-ROM and Internet versions. It includes all modern style SIs published since 1949, together
with the legislation contained in Statutory Rules & Orders and Statutory Instruments Revised to
December 31, 1948, published by HMSO in 1950. SIs from 1987 to present are already published on the
Justis UK Statuory Instruments database.
Over 2,500 Statutory Instruments (SIs) are issued each year and compliance with the measures they
establish is a key requirement for any organisation in the UK. So, there’s no need to worry about
looking back - the archive offers a comprehensive and accurate way of tracking legislation with
all the familiar searching and linking benefits of Justis.
For more information, visit Justis,
phone 020 7284 8080 or
email sales@context.co.uk quoting DV06.
There is a 1 week free trial of the service with no commitment. Register on the site or

Scottish Case Reports Direct comprises all of the case reports, commentaries and quantum reports which appear
in the highly regarded Scottish Criminal Case Reports and Scottish Civil Law Reports.
The archive of the full series will be updated with each issue of SCCR and SCLR as they become available
throughout the year.
This service is further enhanced by the inclusion of Butterworths Scottish Case Digest Online, the
first online service allowing legal practitioners to ascertain quickly and easily the outcome of
recent Scottish cases. Cases are digested and appear online within a matter of days - far quicker
than they can be fully reported in hard copy.
Scottish Case Reports Direct will transform the way you search for cases.
The quick and easy-to-use search facilities will enable you to find what you are looking for
in a fraction of the time it would take with the books.

In the award for "Legal Journal of the Year, 2001" which I recently received from
the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians
(BIALL), they were kind enough to say..
"Delia Venables has filled an emergent niche with a newsletter making an
appropriate use of the dual media of printed and web with links to the sites".
You will always find the address of the web version of the Newsletter on the
front of the printed version, in the left hand column - all subscribers are
welcome to use this!
I now offer a complete range of training materials - a Beginners Guide and
two sets of Advanced Studies. Each course involves printed material as well as
online sessions, using a passworded area of my website. You do these in your own time.
Each course can be purchased either in a single user version or in the
multiple user/intranet version, allowing everyone in the organisation to take
the course and obtain the CPD from the Law Society or the Bar Council. Very low
cost CPD - and good fun too!
Price is £50 plus VAT for the single user licence and £100 plus VAT for the
Intranet/Multiple User version i.e. anyone in the organisation can use the material and
obtain the CPD hours.
If you have direct web access, there is information about the Guide and Tutorials
here.
Five Internet Studies for experienced Internet users exploring topics with legal
relevance. The Studies cover:
The Studies qualify for 5 CPD hours from the Law Society for England & Wales
under the "Distance Learning" category, i.e. the work can be done in your own time.
The Bar Council also accepts the Studies for 5 CPD hours.
Cost is £40 plus VAT for an individual licence or £100 plus VAT for an Intranet/Multiple Use
licence, i.e. anyone in the organisation can use the material and obtain the CPD hours.
The Studies qualify for 5 CPD hours from the Law Society for England & Wales
under the "Distance Learning" category, i.e. the work can be done in your own time.
The Bar Council also accepts the Studies for 5 CPD hours.
You can take the two sets of Advanced Studies in either order - they cover different topics.
Cost is £40 plus VAT for an individual licence or £100 plus VAT for an Intranet/Multiple Use
licence, i.e. anyone in the organisation can use the material and obtain the CPD hours.
Usually, each set costs £40 plus £7
VAT but, if you buy both sets together, the total cost
will be only £60 plus £10.50 VAT. For the Intranet/Multiple Use licence for these
products, both sets together will cost £150 plus VAT instead of £100 each.
This course Qualifies for 5 CPD hours from the Law Society of England & Wales - not
from the Bar Council since the material only covers solicitors' firms
Please note that this course will have a short shelf life - newly published in March 2002,
it will probably be withdrawn at the end of the year.
Cost is £40 plus VAT for an individual licence or £100 plus VAT for an Intranet/Multiple Use licence, i.e. anyone in the
organisation can use the material and obtain the CPD hours.
