The Law Library subscribes to the Justis database to offer its patrons full-text access to all United Kingdom legislation in force or repealed from 1235 to the present. Full-text statutory instruments are also searchable in Justis. Statutory instruments set out detailed provisions under the authority of the enabling Acts of Parliament. Coverage of the statutory instruments is from 1671 to present. These documents are available as pdf files.
In addition, searchable articles in the Justis database contain press releases and announcements from most of the major government departments in England and Scotland. Coverage begins 1998.
