Case Citators

Case citators are important tools for case law research. They will provide you with the following information:

• the correct citation for a case
• whether the case has been reported multiple times
• if any cases have considered the case through the use of annotations and flags or signals
• if any cases were considered by the case
• legislation considered by the case
• whether any journal articles have discussed the case.

Australian case citators include:

• CaseBase via LexisNexis Au
• FirstPoint via Westlaw Au
• Lawcite via AustLII

You can access international case citators on the Legal Research Guide.
