Law Library of Congress GLIN Database Added to WorldLII

The World Legal Information Institute, or WorldLII, has just added the Global Legal Information Network (GLIN) to its collection of 779 free databases from 86 countries.

"This database contains abstracted laws, regulations, judicial decisions and other materials. The data is provided by the Global Legal Information Network (GLIN) which is operated by the Law Library of Congress".

"GLIN is a public database of laws, regulations, judicial decisions, and other complementary legal sources contributed by governmental agencies and international organizations. These GLIN members contribute the official full texts of published documents to the database in their original language. Each document is accompanied by a summary in English and subject terms selected from the multilingual index to GLIN. All summaries are available to the public, and public access to full texts is also available in participating jurisdictions".
