More Developments From Austlii

Tomorrow’s Australian IT has an interesting column about where the LII is going.

AsianLII, the latest LII to be spun off lets you search national databases containing legislation, case-law, law reform reports and legal journals from 27 countries. The website gives unprecedented access to resources from the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Mongolia and East Timor through partner institutions.

While the linguistic challenge is a formidable one, the interface is in English only currently.

The Mowbray-Chung team is currently in Johannesburg to help transform the four-year-old South African LII into a regional site covering 16 English-speaking countries in southern and eastern Africa.
