Subscribers are able to print out judgments in pdf format in exactly the same layout as appears in MCLJ publications. This allows subscribers to see and use page numbers and paragraph letterings just as if they had a printed copy of the judgment. This feature translates to savings equivalent to RM45,000.00 which is the cost of purchasing a full set of hard copy journals.

Laporan Syariah - The Syariah, as it is being separately implemented in the various state jurisdictions, affects and influences Muslims and Non-Muslims alike in ways that are both vital and far-reaching. And, with the Legislature now poised to pass uniformed Islamic Law legislation that seek to apply to wider jurisdictions within the States of Malaysia, the Syariah, doubtless, will assume different but more prominent roles in the legal landscape of the country. In accord with the development, the publication of appropriate legal literature becomes indispensably necessary, not only to the legal fraternity but also to the laymen in general.
|
LN Series (LNS)
The Legal Network Series is a compilation of cases that have not been published by MCLJ.
Significant and selected cases from 1894 to present day are
available to subscribers. These cases are generally not head-noted though some
have catchwords. We are constantly adding cases to this database. We have
the largest database of Malaysian cases, including previously unpublished
cases. New cases are added to the LNS on a regular basis. If the case is
sent in digital format by the court (i.e. on disk or by
email) C LJ Law will always publish it and usually within 24 hours of receipt.
CLJ Law actively encourages all courts to send judgments in digital
format.
