A.L.R. (Australia) - Australian Law Reports

  • Jurisdiction: Australia
  • Dates covered: 1896-

Argus Law Reports of Australia commenced publication in 1896.

Gradually became the Argus Australian Law Reports; then the Australian Argus Law Reports and now, simply, since 1973, the Australian Law Reports (ALR).

This statement of scope is taken from the 1960 ALR:
"Australian Argus Law Reports of the High Court of Australia, Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, Federal Court of bankruptcy (and) Supreme Court of Australian Capital Territory."

More recently (2004):

"... reports of judgments of the High Court of Australia, the federal Court of Australia, other federal Courts and Tribunals, State and territory Supreme Courts Exercising Federal Jurisdiction and Incorporating reports of judgments of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory (Revised by Judges) and the Supreme Court of the Northern territory."
