The Commonwealth Legal Information Institute (CommonLII) is a cooperative legal information initiative led by AustLII (the Australasian Legal Information Institute) providing access to freely available legal materials from all Commonwealth countries. CommonLII contains over 400 databases providing case law, legislation, treaties and law reform reports from more than 50 Commonwealth and common law countries and territories. Some of these materials are held by other Legal Information Institutes including AustLII (Australia), BAILII (United Kingdom), CanLII (Canada), CyLaw (Cyprus), HKLII (Hong King), NZLII (New Zealand), PacLII (Pacific Islands) and SAFLII (South Africa). A catalogue of Web links to key legal Websites is available for all Commonwealth countries. Information can be browsed by country or searched using a sophisticated search engine which enables searching within the databases, the Web catalogue and on Google for all Commonwealth countries. There is also a category which covers the Commonwealth as a whole. Links are given to WorldLII and to the other Legal Information Institutes.
