The Legal Information Institute (LII) is a non-profit organization that publishes law online for free, creates materials to help people understand law, and explores new technologies to make it easier for people to find legal information.

Legal Information Institute

The Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School [LII] is a not-for-profit group that believes everyone should be able to read and understand the laws that govern them, without cost. We carry out this vision by:

- Publishing law online, for free.
- Creating materials that help people understand law.
- Exploring new technologies that make it easier for people to find the law.

We are a small research, engineering, and editorial group housed at the Cornell Law School in Ithaca, NY. Our collaborators include publishers, legal scholars, computer scientists, government agencies, and other groups and individuals that promote open access to law, worldwide. Our goal is to ensure that the law remains free and open to everyone, which includes supporting global expansion of the free access to law movement, serving government, empowering citizens, and developing web science for the law.

Founded in 1992, we currently serve over 20 million unique visitors each year. We rely on diverse support from donors, advertisers, partnership projects, and Cornell Law School for the funds necessary to carry out our work. Please support our work with a donation (http://liicr.nl/GIVE2LII)

We wanted to give you a “state of the LII” update to correspond with the State of the Union address; but, as usual, we didn’t want to wait for the government! As we look back on a busy 2023, and in particular how the rise of generative AI is impacting our work and the way people look for, find and use information online, we also plan for the future.
