AustLII is the spine (free non-commercial educational use, full attribution on every page). We follow AustLII's bulk-dump etiquette — email [email protected] for research access, respectful 1-req/sec fallback otherwise. We never train AI on bulk AustLII text. NSW Caselaw Open Data API (structured JSON) and direct Federal Court / High Court indexes round out coverage.
Eleven subjects every Australian admitting authority requires for legal practice — Criminal, Torts, Contracts, Property, Equity (incl. Trusts), Administrative, Federal & State Constitutional, Civil Procedure, Evidence, Company, and Professional Conduct. Hit those well and you cover ~95% of LLB and JD demand across all 39 CALD law schools.
