The WorldCourts project was established in May 1999 to provide a comprehensive database of decisions rendered by international judicial and quasi-judicial bodies. It currently consists of over 6300 decisions and covers 26 institutions in English and 2 in Russian.

WorldCourts became one of the most trusted sources of international case law on the internet as evidenced by frequent references to the website in academic articles, books, court documents and research guides. On average, the website is visited by 6'000 people per month.

We put a lot of effort into ensuring that WorldCourts stays helpful, such as by:

• introducing permanent links to our content;

• providing Bluebook formatted citations;

• inserting pagination from the original official publications;

• posting all documents in easily searchable and editable HTML format;

• editing and reviewing all decisions before they are posted online;

• ensuring the comprehensiveness of the collection;

• updating the content regularly.

Special thanks to Jack Benson and Ammonet for hosting the website and providing technical support between 2000 and 2010.
