Queensland Judgments website is a joint initiative of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for the State of Queensland (ICLRQ) and the Supreme Court of Queensland Library Committee

01. Introduction
The Supreme Court of Queensland Library Committee and the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for the State of Queensland (ICLRQ) collaborated to create the Queensland Judgments website (SCLQ).

1.1 What the Queensland Judgments Website Is Trying to Do

The purpose of the Queensland Judgments website is to disseminate an authoritative, comprehensive, and useful collection of Queensland case law (including the Queensland Reports) that can be made freely available to the public on behalf of the state's major courts and tribunals.

1.2 ICLRQ

The Supreme Court of Queensland's authorised reports of decisions are published by the nonprofit organisation known as the ICLRQ (Queensland Reports).

The ICLRQ dates all the way back to 1901. The only legal reports accessible at the time in Queensland were those written and published by newspapers or other private organisations. The first book of the new series of authorised reports was issued in 1902 at the Supreme Court's request, and a Council of Law Reporting (modelled after the English model) was founded to take control of law reporting.

1.3 SCLQ

The SCLQ is the nonprofit organisation in charge of running Queensland's main legal research library (Supreme Court of Queensland Library). Together with a number of other more specialised Queensland courts and tribunals, it is also in charge of keeping an official collection of the published reasons for judgement from the Supreme, District, and Magistrates Courts.

The first Supreme Court judge (Lutwyche J.) was able to acquire public money in 1862 to build the colony's first law library, which is where the Supreme Court Library got its start.

The SCLQ was created as a statutory corporation in 1968. It is governed by a 12-member committee that includes the Chief Justice of Queensland (or a Supreme Court Judge appointed by the Chief Justice), the Chief Judge of the District Courts (or a Judge of the District Courts appointed by the Chief Judge), the Chief Magistrate (or a Magistrate appointed by the Chief Magistrate), and four practising barristers (two appointed by the Chief Justice and two appointed by the Chief Justice and (ex officio).
