 Australasian Legal Information Institute
The Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) provides free internet
access to Australian legal materials. AustLII's broad public policy agenda is to
improve access to justice through better access to information.
AustLII publishes public legal information -- that is, primary legal materials
(legislation, treaties and decisions of courts and tribunals); and secondary legal
materials created by public bodies for purposes of public access (law reform and
royal commission reports for example).
In addition to helping public bodies publish their legal information on the web,
AustLII also provides a large index of other legal web sites from around the world,
which is fully searchable and well organised. The World Law index includes a
special section containing "Other Australian Law".
The size of AustLII's databases can be daunting, especially for those without
specialist legal training. For that reason, AustLII is helping to collect Community
Legal Information -- a set of "plain English" guides to the law.
Some of the items faced within this site concern legal materials - access to information - legislation - treaties - courts and tribunals decisions -
