Jurispedia is a wiki encyclopedia of academic law in many languages,[2] currently available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Spanish and Dutch. It was started in October of 2004, inspired in part by Wikipedia and the Enciclopedia Libre (University of Seville). JurisPedia runs on the MediaWiki application, but it is not a Wikimedia Foundation project.
Jurispedia was developed on the initiative of the African Legal Information Institute, the Faculty of law of the Can Tho University (Vietnam), the team of JURIS (Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada), the Institut für Rechtsinformatik of Saarland University (Germany), the Institut de Recherche et d'Études en Droit de l'Information et de la Communication (IREDIC) of the Paul Cézanne University.[3]
The site won the Dieter Meurer Prize for Legal Informatics for 2009.[4][5]
