Here I work on UK Law, as well as law in general. Currently, I'm working on locating and making public domain requests for yearly/session compiled laws for english speaking jurisdictions. I intend to understand a particular jurisdiction's organizational system for it's compiled law books and then upload the complete set to Commons, Wikidata, and of course here. Hopefully this project makes historical law more accessible and covers gaps where various legislatures have not digitized existing in force laws, particularly in common law jurisdictions. If you know a good resource where a large number of a particular jurisdiction's compiled law books are available in PDF form, either already available or awaiting public domain/freedom of information request, please let me know!
