The KLBC, in collaboration with Crimsonlogic Sdn Bhd, is pleased to offer free access to Legal Workbench, the premier online legal research service for practitioners of Malaysian law at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex, Jalan Duta. The KLBC will make Legal Workbench available at its computer terminals at the Bar Room, Left Wing, 5th Floor of the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex, Jalan Duta. The KLBC will charge its normal fee for usage of the computer terminals but there will be no additional charge imposed on members of the Bar for usage of Legal Workbench.

Legal Workbench is a service provided by the Singapore Academy of Law and endorsed by the Bar Council, Malaysia.

First launched in 1990, the service provides convenient one-stop access to a vast repository of case law, Singapore legislation and South East Asian reference materials including textbooks and journals for lawyers in Malaysia and the region.

With Legal Workbench, you have at your fingertips:

Malaysian case law dating as far back as 1932;
Singapore case law from 1965;
Heritage Law Reports (1808-1980) - a unique collection of early law reports of Malaya and Singapore not found elsewhere;
English case law comprising an archive of the Weekly Law Reports series from 1953 and the Law Reports from 1865 as provided by Justis Publishing and the Incorporated Council for Law Reporting (ICLR) for England and Wales.

With highly integrated databases this service provides rich cross referencing, and seamless linking between Malaysian, Singapore and English cases saving you critical time and money.

Numerous easy-to-use tools have been included - all designed to help you, the busy lawyer, to manage your research more efficiently and effectively for e.g. through saved searches, reminders, e-mail alerts and automated time-keeping.

For more information on the service, call toll-free 1800 813 874 or e-mail juliethomas@crimsonlogic.com.

With Legal Workbench now available at the Bar Room, it is hoped that members of the Bar who are interested will take this opportunity to find out for themselves about the service. It is also hoped that, with the availability of Legal Workbench at the Bar Room, members of the Bar who need to conduct research while in Court will consider using these services made available for your benefit.
