legal information institute

Thanks for your interest in the Legal Information Institute (LII).

You can learn a little about our organization below. And when you're done, learn about our staff because, believe it or not, it takes the hard work of real people to maintain and improve a site as big as ours.

What is Wex?

Wex is a collaboratively-edited legal dictionary and encyclopedia. It is intended for a broad audience of people, ranging from lawyers to law students to people who have no experience with the law!  No doubt purists will be quick to point out the differences between a dictionary and an encyclopedia. We deliberately blur the distinction, as we are interested in providing objective, useful material in a range of formats. (See Why bother?.)
