Welcome to ruu.li, the rapid unified uri for legal information, a URL shortener for cases and legislation.

Preferences

Pick which site the "preferred" row above (and the bare, unprefixed route) links to, per jurisdiction, separately for case law and legislation. "official" is the jurisdiction's own court/government site where ruu.li knows one, otherwise it behaves like "classic" (AustLII). Every other route on this page ( /o/ included) always means exactly what it says, regardless of any saved preference.

Case law

Queensland
Commonwealth
New South Wales

Legislation

New South Wales
Commonwealth
Queensland
Australian Capital Territory
Victoria
South Australia
Western Australia
Northern Territory

Reset all to official

Type or paste a citation below to go to your preferred site for it, configured per jurisdiction (separately for case law and legislation) via Settings - "official" by default. Share a link like http://ruu.li/1903hca1 and it takes you and your colleague to different sites if you've each chosen differently.
