ALEP, based at Stanford Law School in the US, develops law curricula for Afghan universities and produces books and other legal material to support them. The Project’s website has a Publications section which provides freely downloadable textbooks on Afghan and international law (seven in English, three in Dari and two in Pashto). It also makes available English translations of Afghan legislation: the Civil Code, the Commercial Code, and laws collected in statutory supplements to two of the textbooks. There is also a collection of Afghan court decisions - currently in Dari only – on the site, together with a video lecture in English. The ‘Constitutional Archive’ page describes a collection of documents produced during the drafting of the new Constitution; ALEP has scanned them and researchers may contact the Project about accessing the collection. The site also features a blog by ALEP’s postdoctoral fellow in Kabul, Jenn Round, and guest contributors.
