Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII)

http://www.austlii.edu.au/

"The Australasian Legal Information Institute provides free internet access to Australian legal materials. AustLII is one of the largest sources of legal materials on the net, with over six gigabytes of raw text materials and over a million searchable documents. AustLII publishes public legal information: that is, primary legal materials (legislation, treaties and decisions of courts and tribunals); and secondary legal materials created by public bodies for purposes of public access (law reform and royal commission reports etc). AustLII's policy agenda is to convince parliaments, governments, courts, law reform bodies and other public institutions to make legal materials they control available free via the internet." It also includes the World Law Index: not as comprehensive as the Australia index, it "seeks to identify the principal valuable indexes of legal resources for each country, and major legal information servers."
