Supporting Ukraine by making International Law (war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide) accessible to everyone

I began Public.Law as OregonLaws.org as a law student at Lewis & Clark Law School. I was enrolled in two very statutes-oriented classes, Criminal Law and Wills & Trusts. These frequently made use of the Oregon Revised Statutes. I wanted online access that was easy to read, browse, and search, mostly to avoid dragging the statutes to class. Well, I couldn’t find it, so I started building it myself.

OregonLaws.org became the go-to resource for accessing the statutes online by law student, attorneys, and the public.

Now I'm adding International Law in support of Ukraine and the ICC (International Criminal Court).

Your sponsorship is important because it allows me to devote my full time to the project:

  • Creating a world-wide community of open-gov hackers
  • Writing plain-language legal texts to make international law more accessible
  • Writing the code

Reaching this goal will pay my student loans from law school!
