Weekly Law Reports Mooting Prize
Legal Research for the Enlightened
We are delighted to announce a significant addition to our annual prizes. The two top scoring finalists in Bradford Law School's Internal Mooting Contest will each receive a one year subscription to the Weekly Law Reports online, giving them access to all Law Reports as soon as they are published and Justis’s unique searchable database archive of all Law Reports published each week.
This is a fantastic prize for law students. The Weekly Law Reports are the best way to keep up-to date with cases which either:
-
Develop the law or introduce a new point of law – giving coverage of the cases that really matter.
- Since precedent is a source of law second only to legislation, you cannot afford not to
- Authority - WLR is the basis for The Law Reports, which contains the most authoritative reports available and should always be cited in preference.
- Superior coverage - covers over 75% more cases, in more courts, than its leading competitor.
- Faster reporting - reports cases faster than any comparable series.
- Greater accuracy - texts of judgments are approved by the judge.
- They are the definitive publishers for citation of judgments in court:
"For the avoidance of doubt, it should be emphasised that both the High Court and the Court of Appeal require that where a case has been reported in the official Law Reports published by the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales it must be cited from that source. Other series of reports may only be used when a case is not reported in the Law Reports."
