The initiative aims to improve access to justice by making laws freely available
LexisNexis has partnered with the Cook Islands Government on a new website developed to provide easier access to Cook Islands laws.
The Laws of the Cook Islands website provides free access to the recently consolidated text of Cook Islands legislation by utilising LexisNexis’ editorial and publishing technology.
The website will launch on 24 June. It has been designed to be user-friendly and up to date.
The initiative, which includes a significant consolidation of laws project, demonstrates the commitment of both LexisNexis and the Cook Islands Government to improving the transparency, efficiency and accessibility of legal resources.
“This development not only symbolizes a leap forward in legal accessibility but also strengthens the rule of law in the Cook Islands by ensuring that legislators, legal practitioners, scholars, and the general public have easy and free access to the consolidated legislation of the nation”, LexisNexis and the Cook Islands Government said in a joint media release.
The Laws of the Cook Islands website represents the start of efforts to bolster legal access in the Cook Islands and beyond. The collaboration is being backed by the Cook Islands Parliamentary Services and the Cook Islands Crown Law Office.
