WELCOME TO WORLDLII EDITORS
AustLII has recently launched its WorldLII Catalog contributing
editors scheme. The new contributing editors from across the
globe will take responsibility for updating and maintaining either
an individual country, region or subject category page in the
WorldLII Catalog. There are now nearly 15,000 external website
links in the WorldLII Catalog and maintaining currency and
relevancy with the services of country and subject experts
will be of great value.
