Supporting Ukraine by making International Law (war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide) accessible to everyone
I began Public.Law as OregonLaws.org as a law student at Lewis & Clark Law School. I was enrolled in two very statutes-oriented classes, Criminal Law and Wills & Trusts. These frequently made use of the Oregon Revised Statutes. I wanted online access that was easy to read, browse, and search, mostly to avoid dragging the statutes to class. Well, I couldn’t find it, so I started building it myself.
OregonLaws.org became the go-to resource for accessing the statutes online by law student, attorneys, and the public.
Now I'm adding International Law in support of Ukraine and the ICC (International Criminal Court).
