A sophisticated searchable database of online primary legal
resources, updated daily and included among the Guardian's top 100 UK websites.
It has made a huge contribution to freeing the law for students, educators and
the general public. BAILII contains judgments, decisions, legal texts and
commentaries of all kinds. In supporting all legal researchers and
demonstrating its value to citizens, the service also reinforces the wider
relevance of higher education and academic research.
This index allows you to search for the meaning of
abbreviations for English language legal publications (particularly law reports
and law journals), from the British Isles, the Commonwealth and the United
States, including those covering international and comparative law. A wide
selection of major foreign language law publications is also included. Publications
from over 295 jurisdictions are featured in the Index.
A very large legal information website offering free access to
Commonwealth and common law on the internet. The service currently contains
over 500 databases from 52 commonwealth and common law countries and
territories. The ethos behind Commonlii springs from the 2002 Declaration on
Free Access to Law, made at a meeting of legal information institutes from
around the world in 2002.
Databases of case law, legislation, and, in some instances, law
reform documents and journals, are available for over fifty jurisdictions. For
those jurisdictions, which do not yet offer any legal databases on the internet
for free, catalogue entries are available which offer brief guides and links to
country resources.
This database lists
subjects of research in progress by students of law in the UK, and is presented
for information only. The database aims to be a comprehensive listing of
research for higher degrees in law, MPhil or PhD, currently underway in
universities in the United Kingdom. Please note that the research listed is
currently underway, and has not yet been completed. Therefore these
dissertations are not yet available through libraries or other channels.
DART-Europe is a partnership of research libraries and
library consortia who are working together to improve global access to European
research theses.
The Directory of Open Access Journals was launched in 2003 at
Lund University, Sweden, with 300 open access journals and today contains more
than 10000 open access journals covering all areas of science, technology,
medicine, social science and humanities.
EThOS, provided by the British Library, is a free online service aimed
at providing access to the UK’s doctoral research theses. Records of over
500,000 doctoral theses are included in the database. EThOS aims to provide a
national aggregated record of all doctoral theses awarded by UK Higher
Education institutions and, where possible, free access to the full text of as
many theses as possible.
EUR-Lex
provides free access, in the 24 official EU languages, to: the Official Journal of the European Union EU law (EU treaties, directives, regulations, decisions, consolidated
legislation, etc.) preparatory acts (legislative proposals, reports, green and white papers, etc.) EU case-law (judgements, orders, etc.) international agreements EFTA documents other public documents.
The Foundations of the Common Law Library is a
collection of databases documenting the history of the Common Law from
1215-1914, including material from as many common law jurisdictions (to 1914)
as are available. The databases included are primarily drawn from other Legal
Information Institutes, such as AsianLII; AustLII; BAILII; CanLII; CyLaw,
HKLII; LII of India; NZLII; and PacLII. In addition to the aggregation of
databases, a catalogue is provided which gives links to other websites with
information on the history of the common law.
The LawCite database indexes more than 5.7 million cases, law
journal articles and law reform reports. It gives links to the full text if
this is available on a free website; otherwise, it gives the name of the
commercial database which has the full text.
LawCite provides substantial coverage of about
seventy-five jurisdictions, the top five being the United States, the United
Kingdom, Australia, Canada and India.LawCite lists all known cases, journal articles and law reform reports referring to each case or journal article that it covers. Frequently-cited cases or articles are marked with one or more gold stars, each star indicating about fifty citations. Because the case citations are automatically generated, LawCite does not indicate whether a case is still good law and appeals are not explicitly mentioned (but the first instance decision and appeal will very often come up together in search results).
OpenDOAR is an authoritative directory of academic open access
repositories. Each OpenDOAR repository has been visited by project staff to
check the information that is recorded here. This in-depth approach does not
rely on automated analysis and gives a quality-controlled list of repositories.
As
well as providing a simple repository list, OpenDOAR lets you search for
repositories or search repository contents. Additionally, we provide tools and
support to both repository administrators and service providers in sharing best
practice and improving the quality of the repository infrastructure. Further
explanation of these features is given in a project document Beyond the list.

OSCOLA is the Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities . It
aims to facilitate the accurate citation of cases, legislation, and other legal
materials.
OSCOLA is a guide to legal citation. The 4th edition was
published in November 2010. OSCOLA helps you to cite your sources in
footnotes consistently, accurately and with consideration for the reader.
It provides rules and examples of citing UK primary sources, European Union
sources, European Court of Human Rights material, and cases and legislation
from some other jurisdictions. It also considers how to cite secondary
sources: books, journal articles, official publications, material from the
internet, newspapers, and other communications.
IALS publishes material on SAS-Space, the School of Advanced Study's
Open Access Research repository, for scholarly, research and archival purposes.
Most materials are made available for use on a freely available, open access,
non-commercial basis. Collections in the IALS Community contain work by
Institute Staff, Students, Visiting Fellows and associated legal scholars and
specialists.
The website covers treaties registered with the UN under
article 102 of the Charter, together with League of Nations Treaties. It also
provides status information for the 500 or so multilateral treaties deposited
with the UN Secretary-General. Several key UN publications relating to treaties
are available as well.
