Law

AI and scraping law, jurisdiction by jurisdiction

This is what LexLint holds. Every jurisdiction below is tracked, and the pair of numbers beside each one says how many instruments we can name and how many of those are researched to a stage with a primary source behind them.

256 Jurisdictions tracked
1,943 Instruments named
23 Researched in detail

Everything tracked

Named / researched. A name with no link is a jurisdiction we track and have not researched to a stage yet, and a country followed by a number has that many subdivisions we track and have not listed here. The law is moving quickly in 191 of the 256, so most entries here are expected to change.

The first number counts instruments we can name for a jurisdiction, drawn from the legal corpus and from research. It is an upper bound: the same law can be named at different levels in different places, an act here and one of its articles there, and where two names cannot be matched to each other they are counted separately. The second number counts instruments researched to a stage, with an effective date and a primary source, and those are the ones with a page. Coverage is growing. This is a research index, not legal advice.
