Searching for a case

Make sure you check your instructions before searching for a suitable case as you may have been asked to select a case on a particular area of law or from a specific jurisdiction, i.e. Victoria.

Here are some helpful ways to search for a case:

• Use a search engine such as Austlii
• Use a text book on the area of law that you are interested in (law texts will refer to cases so this may be a good starting point)
• Ask the library for help
