Foreign Law Database: Global Legal Information Network (GLIN)

From the GLIN home page:

"The Global Legal Information Network (GLIN) is a public
database of official texts of laws, regulations, judicial decisions,
and other complementary legal sources contributed by governmental
agencies and international organizations. These GLIN members
contribute the full texts of their published documents to the
database in their original languages. Each document is
accompanied by a summary in English and, in many cases in
additional languages, plus 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 for most
jurisdictions."
