For 2011/12 we have added Halsbury's Laws of England to our online content via Lexis Library. Halsbury's online has been one of the most requested resources by students over the last few years and this year we have been in a position to add it to our online subscriptions.

*NEW*  Cardiff Index has a new look and now works on mobile phones.

Legal abbreviations can be a puzzle to both new students and experienced professionals.The Cardiff Index to Legal Abbreviations is a  web-based service which allows you to search for the meaning of abbreviations for English language legal publications, from the British Isles, the Commonwealth and the United States, including those covering international and comparative law. This service mainly covers law reports and law periodicals, but some legislative publications and major textbooks are also included.
