Abstract

The World Legal Information Institute (WorldLII) is a collaborative legal information system, providing a key free source of primary legal materials (legislation and case law) for a comprehensive range of countries and jurisdictions worldwide. WorldLII has been developed by the Australasian Legal Information Institute and a number of partner institutions. The service combines access to all materials held in the AustLII, AsianLII, BAILII, CanLII, CommonLII, CyLaw, NZLII, PacLII, SAFLII and HKLII resource systems. The Global Legal Information Network (GLIN) of the United States Law Library of Congress is also searchable on this site. A database index enables users to browse information by country or region (Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America, Pacific islands) or by form of legal literature (legislation, case law, treaties, law reform, law journals and other materials). A sophisticated site search supported by online search tips and user guides is available. The World law Internet resource catalog gives links to non-WorldLII sources on the web. Other projects include a searchable database of decisions of all international and multi national courts and tribunals and a database containing all the academic law journals available via WorldLII.
