International Legal Sources of Information

International Legal Sources of Information

In Argentina

According to B. Luz Clara, in Argentina, “the best example of Documentary Legal Informatics is the “Sistema Argentino de Informática Jurídica”, SAIJ (Argentine System of Legal Informatics) created in 1979. The SAIJ is a government agency supervised by the “Dirección Técnica de Formación e Información Jurídico-Legal” (Technical Office for Legal Information), under the “Subsecretaría de Justicia” (Justice Subsecretariat) in the “Ministerio de Justicia, Seguridad y Derechos Humanos” (Ministry of Justice, Security and Human Rights). It provides normative, jurisprudential and doctrinaire information, whether national or provincial, taken from official sources.

The Argentine System of Legal Informatics also coordinates the National Network of Legal Informatics, established in 1995. This net is constituted by all provinces that have signed
agreements with the entity. Each province has a cooperation center in charge
of providing and updating the provincial legal information. There are also numerous initiatives of legislative, executive and judicial entities linked to the publication of legal information. Namely, the JUBA system of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Province of Buenos Aires, now accessible via the Web. It includes summaries and complete veredicts in the Province of Buenos Aires; the FANA system, also accessible on the Web including nationwide summaries and veredicts.
