How exciting .. and for once not a jot of sarcasm from us.
A legal publisher working with a set of chambers to produce a new set of law reports is dizzying stuff indeed in 2011
That sounds like one of the strangest things a legal publisher could do these days. Actually work with respected members of the bar to publish legal content and then they?ll even publish in bound volumes
Are they mad or is it just a fiendish plan to illustrate to other ?legal publishers? that creating a publication is something positive and good for the law.
Shouldn?t they be doing something else like creating another useless work flow system for lawyers
Alistair King the Justis Marketing Manager writes

Launch of Information Law Reports Important new series in an expanding area of law online and in print
Leading chambers 11KBWi and legal publisher Justis Publishingii are collaborating in a first for both organisations: the creation of a new series of law reports available both in bound volumes from next week and on the established Justis platform from this morning.
Information law is ever more important, seeking to balance the ?right to know? and the ?right to be left alone? in an age of massive databases and global information flows. We all want to protect our own privacy; but we also want to understand how public authorities make decisions and spend our money. This new series will help professionals grapple with these issues.
Timothy Pitt-Payne QC, a barrister at 11KBW and one of the editors of the new reports, said:
?There is a growing case-law, generated by the specialist Information Rights Tribunal and the higher courts. Navigating this material and quickly identifying the most important recent developments is increasingly challenging. The Information Law Reports seek to meet this need, bringing together all the most important cases in a single source. 11KBW are delighted to be working with Justis on this much-needed project.?
Masoud Gerami, Managing Director of Justis Publishing, said: ?We have had a number of significant milestones in our 25-year history, mostly associated with innovation and developments which have changed legal information dissemination for the better. I am delighted that another milestone has been added to our list of achievements by producing the new series of Information Law Reports in association with 11KBW, the leaders in this increasingly important field. I believe that the complementary nature of the expertise from the partners in this project is the ideal requirement for any successful product or service, and we look forward to a continued relationship with 11KBW.?
He added: ?This is also the first time that Justis Publishing has produced a product in hard copy, and we are very excited about the possibilities that the combination of hard copy and online versions will present.
