Here’s the press release and we’ll leave it at that for you ………..
Legal practitioners will benefit from the launch of this new Queensland criminal law work which is available in paper and via best-in-class legal research technologies.
Thomson Reuters was proud to host the official launch of Butler and Holt’s Indictable Offences Queensland at the Queensland Bar Association on 18 October 2016.
Anne Murphy, Head of Content Solutions at Thomson Reuters, welcomed guests to the launch of the new work and highlighted that “it has been developed with the needs of our customers at front of mind”.
After more than two years of thorough planning, extensive customer consultation and expert content creation, Thomson Reuters is pleased to provide the Queensland legal market with a significant new resource on serious crime.
“From the earliest planning stage we have aimed to create a resource that is not only current but also accessible. The design of the work and the writing style are directed to assisting practitioners find the information they need quickly. Writing an entirely new work has permitted us to provide this fresh approach,” says General Editor Judge Brendan Butler.
Thomson Reuters’ commitment to innovation is evidenced by the inclusion of a topic-based navigation tool which, when accessed online on Westlaw AU or tablet via the ProView eReader, allows customers to quickly click through to the content they need via hyperlinks. “While some of us will continue to cling to paper based text, Indictable Offences Queensland, as you have seen, really comes into its own in electronic format,” said Judge Brendan Butler.
“Indictable Offences Queensland completes what is now an impressive suite of Thomson Reuters publications specifically written for Queensland criminal lawyers. It complements Summary Offences Queensland, the Queensland Sentencing Manual and Evidence Law Queensland,” said Judge Butler.
The Managing Director of Thomson Reuters Legal (Australia & New Zealand), Jackie Rhodes, said “Congratulations to the dedicated writing team and General Editors Judge Brendan Butler and Saul Holt QC on the launch of Indictable Offences Queensland. Thomson Reuters is proud of its ongoing commitment to providing authoritative and trusted legal content across Australia.”
