FreeLegalWeb

Just published on VoxPopuLII is my article on Accessible Law. This is largely a composite of posts that I have previously published on FreeLegalWeb and Binary Law, deftly woven together.

Thanks to Rob Richards for the invitation to publish and to Elizabeth Pratt for the editing.

VoxPopuLII is a guest-blogging project sponsored by the Legal Information Institute at the Cornell Law School. It presents the insights of a the very diverse group of people working on legal informatics issues and government information, all around the world. It emphasises new voices and big ideas.

Cornel LII is a not-for-profit group that believes everyone should be able to read and understand the laws that govern them, without cost by:

• Publishing law online, for free.
• Creating materials that help people understand law.
• Exploring new technologies that make it easier for people to find the law.

It is a small research, engineering and editorial group with collaborators including publishers, legal scholars, computer scientists, government agencies, and other groups and individuals that promote open access to law, worldwide.
