ABSTRACT

Considerable attention has been given to the (on-line) accessibility of legal documents, such as legislation and case law, both in legal information retrieval (query formulation, search algorithms) and in legal information dissemination practice (numerous examples of on-line access to formal sources of law). However, only limited attention has been given to making legal texts themselves more accessible to those without a legal education. This article presents a theory about translating sources of law into information accessible to persons without a legal education.
