Your bumper e-Bulletin is back with a big bang following a brief sabbatical. Given the sheer volume of good news that's accumulated here at Justis Publishing over the past few months, we're sticking to the new, punchy format we pioneered in the last issue: short tasters with links, in most cases, to the full stories. So feast your eyes on our menu of legal info nuggets below and if you like a particular starter, click through for the nutritious main course. News Lawtel linking at last 12th May 2010 The provider-neutral JustCite citator now offers links to Lawtel, the legal current awareness service from Sweet & Maxwell. Along with similar links to material from numerous third-party full-text online services, these clearly labelled hyperlinks appear on the dropdown menus embedded into citations in all relevant JustCite records, redirecting users to the Lawtel platform. Read the full story Product review of JustCite 11th May 2010 JustCite has been reviewed by law librarian Helen Watson in one of Cambridge University Press's leading journals, Legal Information Management. Helen describes how the citator "provides a tool to better exploit the investments made in multiple databases" but highlighted how linking to Lawtel would be desirable. On-the-ball readers who have read the story above will realize that we have since made this possible. Read the full story And on that theme... Don't forget that we now have in place a much easier process for customisation of JustCite links in general. Customisation allows administrators to specify which subscription series show up on JustCite's dropdown menu lists of full-text providers, the others remaining greyed out. This means users no longer need to know where to look, learn what they subscribe to or learn the search strategies of other services. Full version of article in Internet Newsletter for Lawyers & Law 2.0 11th January 2010 Last year we reported on an extensive write-up of JustCite, which was commissioned for Delia Venables's highly regarded Internet Newsletter for Lawyers & Law 2.0. An expanded and adapted version of this article appeared in Australian Law Librarian earlier this year, which can now be read in full. Read the full story Mastering the accusative case 29th January 2010 Readers who have yet to see JustCite's latest coverage in the Student Law Review can catch up here, in a piece focusing on classics scholar-turned-barrister Rosanna Foskett and her use of the citator. Read the full story JustCite Search Box now easily customisable 19th May 2010 Designed to enable easy, brandable customisation of the popular JustCite Search Box, our new search box builder will be released shortly. Read the full story And finally... Look out for our major JustCite redesign, which will be rolled out later this year. Until then, we're keeping tightlipped about the substantial improvements to the interface. Titles talk Criminal Law Online Service: exclusive to Justis 4th May 2010 Earlier this month the Criminal Law Online Service (CLOS) switched from www.firstlaw.ie to the Justis platform, where its users have been enjoying numerous new benefits. Running in tandem to the more general Irish Case Law Information and Legislation from First Law, which is also now on Justis, CLOS keeps the busy practitioner up-to-date with new case law and recent changes specifically in criminal law. Read the full story First Law up and running on Justis 1st February 2010 Following on from the story above, if you didn't catch the news at the time, First Law's current awareness service of Irish legal material has enjoyed a smooth transition to the Justis platform, where it now sits happily alongside our longer-established Irish series - this year sees the tenth anniversary of our hosting the Irish Reports & Digests on Justis. Read the full story Completing our hat-trick of Irish stories 20th April 2010 In the latest issue of the Barrister magazine, we report on the phenomenon of practitioners in England looking to Ireland for precedent. The full story has been uploaded to our site. Read the full story Canadian law reports on Justis 12th May 2010 Continuing our expansion of international coverage - which includes the International Law Reports Online themselves - we have reached an agreement to publish four series of law reports from Canada Law Book on Justis. Though it will be unavailable on the Justis platform in North America, our Canadian Law from Canada Law Book package will be exclusive in the UK and Ireland, and available elsewhere. With printable PDFs, it is scheduled to go live on our expanding database later this year. Read the full story Singapore Law Reports on Justis 17th May 2010 From later this year, Justis will host the Singapore Law Reports, the Singapore Academy of Law Journal and the Singapore Academy of Law Annual Review. Published by the Singapore Academy of Law, their digital content from 2010 onwards will be provided by Justis worldwide outside Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. Read the full story Another half century of Scottish law only on Justis 20th November 2009 Another new series left unreported in the hiatus between this e-Bulletin and the last is the Session Cases Archive, 1821 to 1872, which Justis now plays exclusive electronic host to. Following arrangements with the Scottish Council of Law Reporting, we have digitized their important historic collection for the first time ever, and it is now live on our service. Read the full story Extra, extra! Extradition Law Reports now on Justis 30th November 2009 Late in the day though it is to report it here for the first time, the Extradition Law Reports are available on Justis. A comprehensive collection of cases relating to all aspects of extradition law, largely unreported elsewhere, they are published in print by Southside Legal Publishing.

To all Australian librarians, if you haven't benefitted from this year's BIALL Scholarship, which we're sponsoring, we hope you get a chance to enter the contest next year. We'll otherwise see you at ALLA in Melbourne later this year. We're also hosting a presentation lunch in Glasgow on Friday 28th May for members of the Scottish Law Librarians Group (SLLG). If you're a member, please get in touch if you don't hear from us. In any event...
