Every subscription supports legal information access in developing nations.
10% of Casenoter's gross revenue goes directly to Legal Information Institutes serving billions of people who would otherwise have no access to their own laws.
This isn't a marketing afterthought. It's built into Casenoter's DNA from day one.
In Australia, we take free access to law for granted. AustLII has been providing free access to legislation and case law since 1995. But in most of the world, citizens and lawyers alike cannot access the laws that govern their lives.
Legal Information Institutes across the Pacific, Africa, and Asia are working to change that—running on university budgets and volunteer effort. Your Casenoter subscription helps fund their work.
PacLII
Pacific Islands
20 jurisdictions including Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea. Serving ~2,500 lawyers and millions of citizens.
AfricanLII
Africa
Coordinates 16+ national LIIs across Africa from the University of Cape Town. Serving 1+ billion people.
LII of India
India
Partnership with 4 law schools. 900,000+ cases indexed. Serving 1.4 billion people.
These institutes are part of the global Free Access to Law Movement—the same network that created AustLII, CanLII, BAILII, and other LIIs that legal professionals rely on daily. The movement is built on a simple principle: public legal information should be freely accessible to all.
Unlike commercial legal databases, LIIs operate on university budgets and rely on support from the legal community. Casenoter's contribution helps fund server infrastructure, digitisation of historical materials, and the ongoing work of making the law accessible to everyone—not just those who can afford expensive subscriptions.
When you subscribe to Casenoter, you're not just getting a tool that helps you find your research.
You're supporting free access to law for people who have no other option.
$2.90 of every monthly subscription. $29 of every annual subscription.
"I built Casenoter because I was frustrated by losing my research. But I also believe that if we benefit from free access to law in Australia, we should help extend that access to people who don't have it. This is my way of doing that."
