INTRODUCTION

The list of abbreviations includes what is intended to be a comprehensive coverage of Australian and New Zealand legal
abbreviations. It began as a preliminary list in June 1979 (No. 32 ALLG Newsletter), was revised in July 1982 (No 50 ALLG
Newsletter), was separately published in 1986, and appeared with the present title in 1988. This edition represents almost a
hundred per cent increase in entries to the previous edition. Incorporated in the list are non-Australian and New Zealand
law journals which regularly carry Australian and New Zealand content and/or have Australians or New Zealanders serving
on their editorial/advisory boards or as correspondents. As well, a selected number of non-law periodicals which feature
articles of relevance to legal practice in Australia and New Zealand on a regular basis are included.

The work supplements such publications as Raistrick, D. Index to legal citations and abbreviations, 2nd ed, 1993; Bieber,
DM Dictionary of legal abbreviations used in American law books, 4th ed, 1993. This work should prove useful for
reference work and also for identifying items on publishers' invoices and union lists. Of particular interest are the small but
increasing references to electronic publications.

In most cases, the publishers' preferred abbreviations are used. In a small number of instances, where standard
abbreviations are not available, the compilers took the liberty of inventing them. However, there are now many newsletters
and other serials which have no recognised abbreviations. In some cases, more than one abbreviation is used. Ours is not
to reason why some non-standard abbreviations are used eg. Austl LJ by the Index to Legal Periodicals. Spaces have been
created between entries to allow for insertions. The majority of entries are of Australian origin. Where there is ambiguity,
New Zealand is indicated in parentheses.

The following is the accepted form of citation for unreported judgments, which are now heavily used in all kinds of legal
work and study. The generally accepted form (which enables one to order the judgment from the court registries) is:
names of parties/court name/ registry/registry filing number/
date of judgment/judge.

An example would be:
Fong v Edwards High Court, Dunedin, M320/87, 25 November 1987
Wiglet J.

This work was partly updated via regular correspondence on the Internet. We wish to acknowledge assistance from many
librarians in particular Jackie Patrick and law publishers in the preparation of this publication. Thanks to Deirdre Sutherland
and Maureen Yum of Allen Allen and Hemsley for "keying" in the text, and to the University of Otago for assistance with
Alan Edwards' contribution.

As to the next edition, we hope to publish this in the year 2000 when Sydney hosts the Summer Olympics and New Zealand
defends the America's Cup. However a 3rd edition print version may not eventuate if this work becomes available
electronically in the near future. Watch this space!
