Summary
Welcome to the Queensland Law Handbook Online This is really still a book … While we made every effort to convert the updated version of the 12th and last paper edition of the Queensland Law Handbook into a user-friendly online legal self-help resource, this publication still largely retains the characteristics of a book. The 63 chapters have been divided into seven sections of law with meaningful titles and representative pictures to symbolise the respective content. The headings of each individual chapter were carefully constructed to include keywords and phrases that greatly enhance accessibility. Additionally, links to up-to-date primary trustworthy external sources, such as Commonwealth and state government law websites, government departments and other reputable organisations are included. This is your plain-English guide to the law in Queensland. -- Publisher's website.
