The Legal Index is designed to help the user to begin the legal research journey by providing a single, convenient search portal for legal information, and then point the user to the most relevant related legal materials in the Lawi Project – from encyclopedic entries to the thesaurus entries. One search brings together top quality content and unlocks connections in a way not previously possible in a free context. Introduction Timely, accurate information is key to the success of any legal research project nowhere more valuable than in the legal sector, but can we be sure of finding it?. With so many sources available from a library and from the web, knowing where to begin can be a challenge. The pressures on lawyers and students of law are greater than ever before, and sometimes the research finish in frustration. All too often the user interface irritates by being too smart, and the system for classifying knowledge resources bristles with complexities.

The legal index provides an authoritative starting place when beginning the student paper or project. A single click allows the student to explore the breadth of the Lawi Project content, and saves time by eliminating the need to perform the same search on multiple sites. The student obtains a quick preview of the search results, and then follow links directly into the encyclopedic entry or other content relevant to the legal research needs. To help collecting sources, the Legal Index, driven by a powerful content-linking system, can point the student to the most relevant related sources on the topic. From a single entry preview, the student may explore a wealth of related legal material within the same subject area. For Authors of Entries in the Encyclopedia of Law Countless studies have shown: the more discoverable the content is, the more likely it is to be used.

Users of the Legal Index can now explore the breadth of your research and scholarship published online by the Encyclopedia of Law.

More about this site This website is designed to display the material in the Legal Index Ontology, in a range of business facing formats. The material is organized into sections. There are Overview Entries in the Legal Index. After a given search, the user may see that the top result is shaded in gray. This is an Overview Entry, an at-a-glance description of a single legal topic. Just like Index Items, which display key facts about a single resource, Overview Entries are free and Google-crawled. Search for “Legal Research” and you’ll not only see results for hundreds or thousands of entries–you’ll instantly have access to a succinct, trusted topic overview. Goals The goal of the Legal Index Semantics Repository is to standardize the terms and definitions of all reference data attributes of the law. Precise nomenclature translates into a common language between systems and sources, reduces the cost of legal issues and doing business, and promotes confidence in the legal systems. For example: Term: Company Legal Form Documentation Definition: The articles of associations which are defined when a registered company (specifically a company limited by the issue of shares) is set up. Synonym: Articles of Incorporation. Company Constitution. Articles of Association.
