Where has Brookers gone?

The legal database platform Brookers is being retired, and replaced with WestlawNZ - new name, same content...... presented slightly differently.
To this end, I've removed the Brookers and Briefcase link from the Quick links box in the Law subject guide.

Please use WestlawNZ instead.
Please don't hesitate to ask for assistance.
WestlawNZ are developing tutorials and guides, which you can access here .

For a short time, the old platform is still accessible from elsewhere in the subject guide.

BriefCase just got beefier

Apparently Brookers got some feedback about the new system and have acknowledged the desire for a 'one-stop-shop' by including all available PDFs in ViewCase (the full-text limb of BriefCase). Here's hoping we clearly expressed the desire for an affordable one-stop shop.

BriefCase just got briefer

Brookers/Thomson Reuters have just excised the full-text PDFs (a.k.a. ViewCase) for lower courts (District Courts & tribunals) from Briefcase. Why? Because those judgments are now included in their all-new topical case law databases - ACC, Civil procedure, Family, Fisheries and a few more - which we can purchase (but haven't yet) at additional cost.
BriefCase still has the case summaries, just not the full text. We can probably get the judgment for you, so fill out a judgment request form, available at the Law Library desk.
