Unreported judgments of the Supreme Court of Tasmania are available on AustLII (Australian Legal Information Institute). Judgments are available from 1987 onwards but the coverage for 1987-1992 is not complete.

Full Court: Smith v Jones [2010] TASFC 1
Court of Criminal Appeal: State of Tasmania v Smith ]2010] TASCCA 1
