About Lawlex regulatory Newsfeeds

LAWLEX produces a number of regulatory Newsfeeds on various legal topics and industries. We also publish Professor Ian Ramsay's monthly Corporate Law Bulletin.

Our newsfeeds focus on the news and information that is important - the regulatory news. Coverage includes new and amended legislation, Ministerial Statements, Press Releases, Regulator Statements, Practice Notes, News, Significant Upcoming Dates etc.

You will find information about the Regulatory Newsfeeds on the My Lawlex page.

My Regulatory Newsfeeds

Under My Regulatory Newsfeeds, you will find the titles that your organisation subscribes to. They will appear in the first half of the screen, under the Industry Newsfeeds available to your organisation heading. Tick which titles you wish to receive.

Further titles that your organisation may subscribe to appear under the Other Newsfeeds heading. If you wish to have access to these, discuss this with you Lawlex administrator

The Newsfeed Archive

If your organisation subscribes to a newsfeed title, you can search the Archive of that title for items that were published in the past. You can search either by keyword or by browsing through the titles.

When keyword searching, you can either search across all the titles you have access to at once, or you can choose a specific newsfeed title to search (we recommend you do this to ensure you get more accurate search results).

Browsing allows you search through each weeks' publication, title by title.

About Lawlex SH&E Monitor

The Lawlex SH&E Monitor is an update service based upon regulatory, standards, and best practice developments in the areas of Occupational Health and Safety and Environment. Email alerts are dispatched to clients based upon their SH&E Profile. All updates are indexed by business process (and we currently have over 130 of these). You will find more information about Lawlex SH&E Monitor, on the My Lawlex page http://my.lawlex.com.au

Following is an example of the SH&E Update. The items are currently arranged by jurisdiction for ease of use and are published weekly.

My SH&E Monitor Profile

If your organisation subscribes to the SH&E Monitor, you can create a SH&E Profile for yourself by clicking on Profiles or My SH&E Monitor in the SH&E Monitor frame.

The first tab you are taken to is an alphabetical view of the 130 plus business processes that you are able to select for monitoring. Your Lawlex Business Development Manager will have supplied your Lawlex Administrator with documentation that outlines the scope or content of each of these business processes in detail. If you would like more information about these, please contact your internal Lawlex Administrator or the Lawlex Helpdesk.

You are also able to view these business processes in a category breakdown by clicking on Show me Category View. Tick as many Business Processes as you wish. You can always refine your search later if you find you are receiving too many updates.

The Modify Selections tab gives you the opportunity to edit your profile. Whenever you change your profile by either adding or deleting business processes, you will be shown what these changes are and you must confirm the selections so that they are saved.

The SH&E Update Archive

All the SH&E Updates that Lawlex publishes are stored in the SH&E Update Archive under the relevant business process. You can find these by searching for keywords in either a specific business process or across them all.

For more information about how to construct a search using the Lawlex search software, please see the section above titled Search Operators. All basic Boolean Operators can be used, and the default operator is AND when using Lawlex to search legislation. This means that you do not need to add the word AND when you are searching for more than one word.

For example "firearms knives bombs" will return documents that have "firearms AND knives AND bombs" in them. Use " " for searching phrases and OR if searching for synonyms.

You also have the option to Browse the index, by clicking on the relevant Business Process. Click on the + beside each Business Process to see the Updates published for that Business Process.

If you get the following message when you click on a service from http://my.lawlex.com.au, you have either not logged or are not a subscriber to that particular service.
