Saviez-vous que...?

Montréal a une Déclaration sur l'accès gratuit au droit sur internet? Voici les points importants de la déclaration: Public legal information means legal information produced by public bodies that have a duty to produce law and make it public. It includes primary sources of law, such as legislation, case law and treaties, as well as various secondary (interpretative) public sources, such as reports on preparatory work and law reform, and resulting from boards of inquiry. It also includes legal documents created as a result of public funding.

Voici les idées principales qui y seront développées: * Public legal information from all countries and international institutions is part of the common heritage of humanity. Maximising access to this information promotes justice and the rule of law; * Public legal information is digital common property and should be accessible to all on a non-profit basis and free of charge; * Organisations such as legal information institutes have the right to publish public legal information and the government bodies that create or control that information should provide access to it so that it can be published by other parties. Pour ma part, je pense que le droit n'a pas le choix d'évoluer avec les nouvelles technologies et, dépendamment de la façon dont on traite tout cela, plus de gens pourront avoir accès au savoir légal et donc pourront mieux se défendre.
