Welcome to the Commercial Law Quarterly Library. The library contains all published editions of the Quarterly and most editions of The Bulletin. We suggest that financial members of the CLA log into their account before searching the library as all articles are free for financial members. You can search the library by year or volume number. A keyword search will search the article titles and authors not the body of the copy. Articles can not be accessed separately. Download is by complete issue only.

Commercial Law Quarterly

The Commercial Law Quarterly (CLQ) is the official publication of the Commercial Law Association of Australia. The journal has been published continuously for over 25 years and is a highly respected reference material for those involved with the practice of law. CLQ contains both refereed articles and seminar papers.
If you have a paper you are interested in having published please send it to either gregory.tolhurst@sydney.edu.au or maxwilson@cla.org.au

The Bulletin

The Bulletin was the predecessor to the Commercial Law Quarterly. It was published from 1968 to 1985. Unfortunately, not every issue of The Bulletin is available in the library.
