We want to make your Australian legal research as efficient as possible. If you are a user of the JADE legal research platform, you would be well aware of the power of legal search.

Here are three more improvements for your Thursday Power Research:

1. Improved search bar pop ups – Just type as you though you are speaking

For example, “I need to know what s 22 of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) says” – Just start typing “s 22 of the Building”
