- From the mid-1990s a group of organizations, known as ‘legal information institutes’ or ‘LIIs’ have been working together to improve widespread free access to law across the world. These institutions publish legal information from more than one source (not just ‘their own’ information) for free access via the Internet. Their cooperation was informal at first, but since 2002 they collaborate both politically and technically through membership of the ‘Free Access to Law Movement’ (FALM), a loose affiliation of 46 members from countries all over the world. The first Legal Information Institute was established in 1992 at Cornell University. This type of initiative, and use of the suffix ‘LII’, then spread in Australia (AustLII), Canada (CanLII), and many other countries and regions, including the UK (BAILII), the Pacific Islands (PacLII) and Southern Africa (SAFLII).
