The NSW Law Reports are the official reports of the courts of New South Wales, Australia. The reports are published by The Council of Law Reporting for New South Wales and cover selected cases heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
Each state in Australia has an official body which is responsible for the reporting of cases. At the Commonwealth level the responsibility rests with judges. The Commonwealth Law Reports are the authorised reports of the High Court of Australia.
Judgements which are included in the reports are selected on the basis their significance in relation to the interpretation, development or application of the law in New South Wales. Fewer than 10% of all judgements are eventually selected for publishing.
The current editor is Bret Walker who has held the position since 2006.

“Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?”

“The three-year-old who lies about taking a cookie isn’t really a “liar” after all. He simply can’t control his impulses. He then convinces himself of a new truth and, eager for your approval, reports the version that he knows will make you happy.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
