WELCOME TO WORLDLII EDITORS

AustLII has recently launched its WorldLII Catalog contributing editors scheme. The new contributing editors from across the globe will take responsibility for updating and maintaining either an individual country, region or subject category page in the WorldLII Catalog. There are now nearly 15,000 external website links in the WorldLII Catalog and maintaining currency and relevancy with the services of country and subject experts will be of great value.
