Commonwealth Legal Information Institute

The Commonwealth Legal Information Institute (CommonLII) aims to provide one central Internet location from which it is possible to search – for free – core legal
information from all Commonwealth countries.

The Commonwealth Legal Information Institute (CommonLII) <http://www.commonlii.org> provides:

558 full text Databases from 59 Commonwealth and common law countries and external territories (see separate CommonLII Databases list).
A Catalog of nearly 10,000 websites from all Commonwealth and common law countries and territories. There is also a Websearch facility that allows searches of the content of many (but not all) of the websites in the Catalog.
A ‘Law on Google’ facility for all Commonwealth jurisdictions, which assists users to more easily find legal materials from a particular jurisdiction using the Google search engine.

CommonLII therefore provides three methods of finding law from across the Commonwealth.
Access to everything CommonLII provides is free to users.
