How to use the Journal.

Viewing Files

Links within the Journal are to hypertext markup language files (html). From mid-1996 onwards the markup process has been automated from an rtf source file, including tables of contents and footnotes. Files are 'as published'; there is no retrospective checking and altering of references to outside sources. Users of modern software on a PC or Mac will find they can successfully print html files, and may have no need of the alternative rich text format files.

Portable Document Format (PDF)

From [2008] 1 Web JCLI the html files have been available for download as pdfs. The pdfs replaced the rich text format (rtf) files that were in use from 1995 on.

Rich Text Format Files

RTF files were provided because in the early days of the Journal there tended to be problems printing html files.

Any reference to Download in the Journal will give access to the rtf or pdf files for that issue. Your Web client may be configured so that rtf files are loaded automatically into your local word processor. If you are a network user you may have to ask your network administrator for advice.

The rtf files are also available in compressed (zip) format which will need to be unzipped to be read. The pdfs are not compressed.

Citing Web Journal of Current Legal Issues

The preferred method is O'Nions, 'The Marginalisation of Gypsies', [1995] 3 Web JCLI

The on-line Journal does not use page numbers. Partly this was because from 1995-1997 Blackstone Press Ltd published an Annual Year Book with page numbers assigned after the publication of the on-line version.
