JurisPedia ( /ˈdʒʊərɪsˌpiːdiə/) is a wiki-based online encyclopedia of academic law in many languages, [1] currently available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Spanish and Dutch. It was started in October 2004, inspired in part by Wikipedia and the Enciclopedia Libre ( University of Seville). JurisPedia runs on the MediaWiki software, but it is not a Wikimedia Foundation project.
JurisPedia was developed on the initiative of the African Legal Information Institute, the Faculty of law of the Can Tho University (Vietnam), the team of JURIS ( Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada), the Institut für Rechtsinformatik of Saarland University (Germany), the Institut de Recherche et d'Études en Droit de l'Information et de la Communication (IREDIC) of Paul Cézanne University. [2]
The site, one of the largest legal encyclopedias and online legal references, won the Dieter Meurer Prize for Legal Informatics for 2009. [3] [4]
Since 2012, JurisPedia is member of the Free Access to Law Movement. [5]
On 10 March 2014, the French version of Jurispedia and the Bar Association of Paris have signed an agreement to take part in the creation of the "Great Library of Law". [6] [7]
