Justis
Publishing October e-Bulletin
|
Welcome to your all new, slimmed down Justis Publishing e-Bulletin.
Because there’s always so much to say, your faithful servants at
Justis Communications Command have in the past been guilty of providing you
with too much information in their bloated dispatches.
So we’ve decided to radically shorten our emails in favour of short
summaries with links to fuller stories for most of the items included.
Deprived of no content, your skimming should be streamlined so you can find
what’s relevant to your practice at the speed of, well, an e-Bullet.

Isn’t serendipity a wonderful thing?
Back in August we interviewed Leeds
barrister Paul Greaney for the Student Law Review. Now published, the piece
discusses Greaney’s use of the time-saving, provider-neutral JustCite citator in his successful
prosecution for homicide.
We mentioned in passing that Greaney had been nominated in the Bar Chambers
Awards. And, a few days before this email was scheduled to go out, it was
announced that he was named Criminal Law Junior Barrister of the Year 2009.
Congratulations, Paul.

Defame
game
9th October 2009
Further media coverage can be found in our latest appearance in the
Australian Law Librarian. Interview subject Kieran Smark hasn’t, as
far as we know, just won an award. But he was elevated to SC status in 2007
– the equivalent of QC down under – around the time he started
using JustCite and the full-text legal library, Justis, to great effect in his research,
not least in the peculiar case of defamation on which we report.

Local Acts from
your local electronic publisher
29th September 2009
In September we entered into a joint venture with the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI)
to increase the accessibility of local acts.
An extensive data capture project, the plan is to digitize all local acts
in the UK
and upload them on to Justis.

Hints & tips
Search form
customisation on Justis
Following on from Justis Parliament, incorporation of our parliamentary
data into Justis in June led to a raft of platform improvements to Justis
as a whole.
One improvement we suspect isn’t getting quite the attention it
deserves is search form customisation.
Although the “common forms” we provide on each search screen
cater for most queries, your practice area might require the regular or
one-off incorporation of non-standard search fields.
With search form customisation this is possible to achieve – and very
easy. Simply click on the “Customise” button at the foot of the
search screen, select the additional fields you’d like to include
from the window that appears and click “Finished”. If you think
you’ll want to re-use your customised form, it can be named and saved
by clicking the “Save” button next to “Customise”.

BIALL accounts the
party was a success
Between disseminating our last e-Bulletin and releasing this issue, you
might have read about – or indeed been involved in – the BIALL 40th
anniversary party, which Justis Publishing sponsored.
The event exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and attendance and
we’d like to thank all those involved.
If you couldn’t make it, here’s to their golden jubilee.
