Aboriginal Law and Legislation

This resource compiled by the Ontario barrister and solicitor Bill Henderson provides legal materials relating to aboriginals from Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia. It includes constitutions, legislation and court decisions.

CommonLII

The Commonwealth Legal Information Institute (CommonLII) aims to provide one central internet location from which it is possible to search - for free - core legal information from all Commonwealth countries. Depth of coverage varies from country to country, but so far there is at least some primary material (legislation and case law) for all but a very few countries.

Commonwealth Secretariat

The Commonwealth Secretariat is the central institution of the Commonwealth. Its web site provides information on the constitution, politics and economics of all Commonwealth member states. The "Rule of Law" section (accessed via "What we do" in the menu bar) includes model laws, reports of conferences and declarations.

Judicial Committee of the Privy Council

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) is the highest court of appeal for many current and former Commonwealth countries, as well as the UK's overseas territories, crown dependencies (Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man), and military sovereign base areas. This web site, created following JCPC's move from Downing Street to Parliament Square in 2009, includes details of JCPC's role and powers; lists of relevant legislation; procedural information (forms, rules and practice directions); details of current cases and future sittings; and judgments ("Decided Cases") November 2009 onwards. Judgments from 1999 to August 2009 and selected key judgments before 1999 are available on both the main Privy Council Office and BAILII web sites, to which links are provided on the "Decided Cases" page.
