Cornerstone Barristers takes part in launch of new online legal encyclopaedia
Members of Cornerstone Barristers have played a leading role in contributing to a new online encyclopaedia, launched on 10th December 2012. The “Westlaw UK Insight” is an online legal encyclopaedia covering, when completed, the whole of UK law. The encyclopaedia contains articles designed to:
- Provide brief overviews on areas of law for readers who are not expert in that area
- Identify issues of particular complexity or importance on which expert support is likely to be needed
- Complement and link to other Westlaw materials, including legislation, cases and commentary
The encyclopaedia aims to be concise and authoritative, and will be added to and updated regularly.
