	Law Reports and Court Records
		To locate a judgment it is necessary to obtain the title of the law report in which it is published.
		Law reports are usually referred to by year (in brackets), volume number, title abbreviation and first page eg the Mabo decision of the High Court published in Australian law reports is cited as (1992) 107 A.L.R. The indexes cited in the table above have conversion tables for their country's abbreviations.
		Most court judgments, ie the judges' reasons for their decisions, are not published in the printed law reports and remain unpublished.

		Free access to the laws of one's own country is an important support for the rule of law, and free access to proposed laws is an important support for democracy.
		In the particular context of the nations that make up the Commonwealth, most of whom share the common law as a source of law (often in conjunction with sources from other legal traditions), free access to the law of one's own jurisdiction is not sufficient.
		It includes primary sources of law, such as legislation, case law and treaties, as well as various secondary (interpretative) public sources, such as reports on preparatory work and law reform, and resulting from boards of inquiry.
