How it works · Personal legal research
Work out your situation, with the law beside you.
srilaws is a free place to find the laws that apply to you, and read them section by section.
01 — What you can do
Search and read
Find the law that applies, and read it at the section you need.
Read the actual law
Every law as its official publisher issued it, split into sections you can open, link to and cite.
- Search by a law’s name or by what it says
- Open any section at its own address
- Cite a section, with a link to the official text
03 — Why you can trust it
Built on the real law, and on your side
Always the official text
Every section links to its source and is taken from it unchanged. Where the English text is a translation or an unofficial copy, the page says so.
Information, not legal advice
We help you understand the law. When your situation needs a lawyer, we say so plainly.
Works with your AI
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant at srilaws.com/mcp, so it reads the actual law too.
