The record holds the law of more than 200 countries as a dated history: every change is dated the day it took effect and names the law that made it, so a provision can be read as it stood on any date.\n\nAsk what a provision says or said on a date, which laws changed it and what each change did, what changed in a country over a period, which provisions rely on a definition, or whether the citations in a brief, contract or memo were in force on the date that matters. Every answer gives the official publisher's link and a pincite, and says where the record starts and ends.\n\nCoverage varies by country: some countries have their whole statute book and others a constitution or a few codes, and case law is held for a few jurisdictions only. When the record does not hold something, the answer says so.\n\nThe server is read-only and needs no account or key. It keeps no inputs or answers. Global law is a research aid, not legal advice: read the official text before relying on any provision.",
