Keep free legal information free for everyone

Our free legal information service is not costless. Your donations make it possible for the LII to make law available and understandable to people around the world. You can watch a short video that explains what we do and why we do it.

(We do not furnish personal information to others under any circumstances.)

The LII provides unbiased information about law and government.

Last month, Maricopa County’s controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio claimed the authority to make arrests of illegal aliens under a Federal statute that just doesn't exist. Using the LII site, reporters were able to quickly verify that no such law is found in the US Code – Arpaio’s “law” was made up by a nativist organization in Connecticut. Everyone needs to be able to find out what the law is. We meet that need with unbiased, unfiltered access to accurate legal information as it is delivered by the courts and legislatures that create it – without bias or external agendas.
