CASE LAW
NEW
ZEALAND
New Zealand case law is indexed in Linxplus,
via LexisNexis
NZ and Briefcase
in Brookers
Online.
Both products provide links to the full text of case law where available.
You can search using the party name(s) - quite often
this will be all the information you will have from class to help you
locate the case.
We recommend
you book
a training session on LexisNexis NZ and Brookers Online.
Classes are run on a regular basis at the Davis Law Library introducing
you to how you search these databases, including using Linxplus and
Briefcase.
