BAILIIBritish and Irish Legal Information Institute
From the website: The BAILII web site now contains the key common law databases of all of the decisions of the Privy Council, many decisions of the House of Lords and the Court of Appeal, important courts such as the Scottish Court of Session, the Irish Supreme Court, European Court of Human Rights and European Court of Justice and tribunals, and legislation from three
jurisdictions (e.g. Northern Irish legislation goes back to 1495). It also contains recent reports and consultation papers from the Law Commission of England and Wales and the Scottish Law Reform Commission, in addition to the Irish Law Reform Commission materials which have been on the site for some time.
The website includes most of the recent British and Irish primary legal materials that are freely available to the public. Most of these materials ar derive from published and
unpublished CD ROMs or provided directly by courts, tribunals and government departments. In addition, it contains materials not available from any other free source. All of
the data have been converted into a consistent format and a generalised set of search and
hypertext facilities added; this, among other advantages, allows searching across all databases and all jurisdictions.
