Abstract

The law library community has been talking about how to ensure permanent public access to primary legal information, both US (state and federal), as well as international and foreign legal information (see Claire M. Germain, "Digital Legal Information: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow," AALL Spectrum 5/98:27). Web Mirror Sites present a new way to disseminate and preserve digital legal information, and offer a security backup for issuing agencies, an increasingly important factor in the new cyberspace world prone to computer hacking.

Keywords: Law library community, Mirror sites, Public access to legal information, Preservation of digital information, International Labour Organization, ILO, International Court of Justice, ICJ
