The Law Society of Libya
The Law Society of Libya (المجمع القانوني الليبي) is a non-profit civil society organization established on February 22, 2022. Its primary aim is to digitally archive and publish Libyan legislation in an organized and accessible manner. The Society seeks to enhance the efficiency of legal research and support researchers and professionals in easily accessing legal sources. This contributes to improving legal awareness among citizens, lawyers, and academics alike.
The Society adopts a comprehensive vision to make Libyan legal archives a reliable and extensive reference supported by the latest electronic publishing and search technologies. While the current content is primarily published in Arabic, there are plans to gradually incorporate other languages, including English, French, Italian, Turkish, Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese, and Swahili, to broaden accessibility to an international audience.
