 Welcome to our first post for HSC Legal Studies: News Watch.  We will be scanning what's been in the news to identify media reports, magazine articles, and other key resources that will be useful for Legal Studies students and teachers.

What to do to make the most of this blog:

• Subscribe to the RSS Newsfeed
• Register with the State Library as a member, so you can access full text newspaper and magazine articles from home
• Make use of our Legal Studies Research Guide - a syllabus based website that identifies useful resources - many of which are available at your local public library, while others are available in full text on the web.

We welcome your feedback and your questions and will attempt to respond to you as soon as we can.
