New HOT topics, great for Legal Studies students

Hot Topics
There are two great new recently released Hot Topics: Human rights and Domestic violence.
Human rights provides an overview of human rights law from its origins and sources, through to the development of modern human rights law. It examines how human rights law operates in Australia, with reference to current issues, and includes the full text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and further information resources. It is a great resource for HSC Legal Studies students studying the Human Rights topic.
Domestic violence defines domestic violence, gives a detailed explanation of the law on apprehended violence orders, and discusses other legal remedies. It is a very useful resource for those Legal Studies students studying the Crime or Family topic.

New NSW legislation site

The website for NSW legislation has just changed to http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/ The URLs and core functionality are unchanged but there are additional features, in particular the official authorisation of legislation published online, and a more streamlined interface. The new features will be listed in full in a link from the home page.
The NSW legislation website is the official NSW Government site for the online publication of legislation. The website contains the following features:
