Mission

Open Law Library is a 501c3, open-access publisher with a mission to make all official laws freely and openly accessible to governments and their citizens. We make this a possibility by working directly with governments to improve the drafting, codifying, and publishing process. Governments use our software and services to reduce the manpower required to draft, codify, and publish laws by an order of magnitude, eliminate entire classes of errors, and codify and publish laws in real-time as they go into effect. Unlike existing publishers, we sustain ourselves on revenues from software and services instead of charging for access to the law. We never restrict access to the law through copyright, terms of service, or fees.
