Resources

The Law Centre's library holds a collection of books and journals (see below) relating to our specialist areas of law, as well as newsletters, bulletins and reports from the voluntary and statutory sectors.

 

1. Searching for Commissioners Decisions

We hold an archive of Commissioners Decisions and other social security judgements: more recent decisions can now be found through the internet.

n   Guide to searching for decisions 

This guide has been compiled by our librarian, Mary Blair. The guide tells you how to find decisions through the internet, through the Law Centre's library service and through relevant agencies.

n Index of Commissioners Decisions

Pat Miskimmin, librarian at the Law Centre for 18 years, kept this subject index of decisions held in our library until 2001.  

If you have used our guide and are unable to track down a decision, contact Mary Blair at the Law Centre who may be able to help. Telephone 028 9089 9369 or email mary.blair@lawcentreni.org
