British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII)

Around 200,000 documents are available to search in this comprehensive collection of British and Irish case law, legislation, Law Commission reports and other legal material, alongside links to international law resources and archives.

You can search BAILII by database, legislation, case name, or case law. Recent decisions, additions and new cases of interest are highlighted, as well as leading case law by subject.

How can this collection be used in teaching, studying and research?

BAILII is essentially a wide-reaching, subject-specific collection for those engaged in, or connected with, the practice of law. Its open-access approach also offers the study of particular legal documents to the general public.
