A Brief Guide to Select Databases for Spanish-Speaking Jurisdictions

In the opening years of the 21st century, Computer-Assisted Legal Research (CALR) and the nearly universal access to data fostered by the World Wide Web (WWW) have synergistically melded to yield a metaphorical explosion of access to legal material on a global level, as demonstrated by resources such as GlobaLex, LLRX, and a number of commercial databases. This guide seeks to highlight a small sample of the more useful commercial and open-access databases, and I have selected databases which provide (or, in my estimation, should provide) access to primary and secondary legal material important to Spanish-speaking jurisdictions.
