The Community is a shared space where criminal lawyers across Acquit collaborate: every subscriber sees the same content, so knowledge pooled by one firm helps everyone. Open Community in the sidebar to explore:
- Caselaw notes, judgments & practice directions: a feed of recent Queensland judgments plus notes and directions shared by other lawyers.
- Benchbooks & drug schedules: the official court benchbooks and drug schedule tables, searchable in-app.
- Directories: court contacts, judges’ associates, police prosecutions, and more.
- Document hub & precedents: guides, templates, and a de-identified bail clause library.
- Local knowledge: court-specific tips from lawyers who appear there.
- Discussions: open threads with other lawyers. Start a conversation, vote replies up or down, and put a question to the room with a poll.
Use the search box at the top to look across everything at once, and bookmark anything you want to find again; saved items live under Saved.
The home feed
The home feed works like a social feed. Mark a post Helpful, Save it for later, or copy a Share link without opening it, and start your own post from the Share something box at the top.
If colleagues share something while you’re reading, a New posts pill appears; click it to refresh the feed. The panel beside the feed shows what arrived this week and the month’s most helpful contributors.
Visibility and rules
Anything you post is visible to all Acquit users and shows your name and firm. The Community rules are listed in the sidebar beside the home feed. In short: nothing that identifies a client, no privileged material, verify before you rely, and keep it professional, with no personal attacks on colleagues or the bench. Report anything that crosses a line.
Chats follow the same spirit with two differences. Client details there are need-to-know rather than banned, since discussing a matter with a colleague on the file or your covering agent is what chats are for. But a group chat is still a publication, so post nothing defamatory or that could bring you or the profession into disrepute.
