Journal History

Starting with volume 1, 1994, Deakin Law Review was published

• online - available via AustLII (vol.1 1994 - current)

The DLR Editors also considered accessibility to the legal and wider community as important, so to that end issues  from 2004 were published on this website and in on-line databases such as EBSCO, AustLII and HeinOnline. 
DLR articles in AustLII and this website are openly and freely available, without subscription.
