ICLRQ
The ICLRQ is the charitable institution which is responsible for publishing the authorised reports of the judgments of the Supreme Court of Queensland (Queensland Reports).
The origin of the ICLRQ can be traced to 1901. At that time, the only available law reports in Queensland were published by newspapers or other private concerns. At the initiative of the Supreme Court, a Council of Law Reporting (based upon the English model) was established to assume responsibility for law reporting, with the first volume of the new series of authorised reports being published in 1902.
The ICLRQ continues to operate under the ultimate control of the Judges of the Supreme Court. The ICLRQ has a nine person Council comprising three practising barristers (appointed annually by the Judges of the Supreme Court), three practising solicitors (also appointed annually by the Judges of the Supreme Court) and three ex officio members (the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General and the Registrar of the Supreme Court).
