Publication reviews are part of By Lawyers’ commitment to quality and keeping our subscribers up to date with changes in practice and procedure.
Our publication reviews target commentaries, or precedents, or both. The purpose of the reviews is to update and ensure consistency in styles, formatting, hyperlinks, naming protocols and, if necessary, the substantive content.
The results of a review can include new, amended, or deleted commentary, commentary headings, and precedents.
Sometimes the title or location of a precedent will be altered.
Occasionally there are amendments to the sequence of folders, commentary headings, precedents, and hyperlinks on the matter plan.
Any changes applied will be reflected in an amended matter plan.
Practitioners using our guides will not always realise when a publication review has been conducted. However, sometimes the resulting changes will be apparent, and amendments or enhancements might take a moment to get used to.
Lately, our in-house team, in conjunction with our authors in the various jurisdictions around Australia, have been focussed on reviewing the Full Commentaries in the following publications:
- ALL jurisdictions – Conveyancing – Sale and Purchase;
- FED – Family Law – Children;
- FED – Employment Law;
- FED – Self Managed Superannuation Funds;
- NSW – 101 Succession Answers;
- QLD – Litigation – Supreme Court, District Court, and Magistrates Court;
- QLD – 101 Succession Answers;
- VIC – 101 Succession Answers.
Some of these are still a work in progress, so keep an eye out for any changes.
We love to help our subscribers, and we love feedback. If you have any questions or concerns about changes arising from a publication review, do not hesitate to let us know. We are always happy to discuss any change we have made, or consider others. If you can’t find a section of commentary or a precedent, send us an email and we will point you in the right direction.
And, if you like the changes we have made, please take a moment to let us know so we can continue helping you to enjoy practice more.
