Do you want to have your own legal information website? Do you have collections of judgments, law reports or legislation ready for publication?
AfricanLII and partners have spent a few years developing open source solutions and training materials to help anyone to easily set up and operate an open access legal information website. We share these materials with you here.

In this first of a two-part blog, legal scholar Yuzuki Nagakoshi reflects on recent training at the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. Offered jointly by the African Legal Information Institute, the Judicial Institute for Africa, based at the University of Cape Town, and by Kenya Law, the course was intended to provide a comprehensive theoretical and practical training in traditional and digital law reporting.
When we think about courts, our imagination often ends when the decision is delivered.
A less public but nevertheless important aspect of courts’ work is the subsequent reporting of decisions after they have been delivered. The resulting law reports are collections of decisions from a specific court or jurisdiction, edited and organised to facilitate the understanding and dissemination of its jurisprudence and to be the official record.
