SCQL Publications: Featured Titles
The SCQL Publishing Program was initiated in 2000 with the publication of a commemorative booklet marking the official opening of the Rare Books Room. Since that time, the Program has yielded a series of commemorative booklets, as well as conference proceedings and, in recent years, scholarly works relating to Queensland’s legal history.
In keeping with the SCQL’s objective of preserving Queensland’s legal heritage, and to promote the availability of works which deal with substantive legal topics, the Program primarily publishes:
- works relating to Queensland’s legal history;
- biographies of legal personalities;
- and legal text books.
For further information about this Program, please contact the Librarian.
