Abstract

France started to develop databanks in 1970, in a difficult national situation where initiators from both private and public sectors scattered their efforts in all directions, with different conceptions and techniques.

In 1984, a national policy for the development of computerized legal information was settled with a study and a report named “Rapport Leclerq”.

*

An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 11th IALL Course on International Law Librarianship in Heidelberg, Germany, September 9-11, 1991.

**

Deputy Librarian (also in charge of databases), Swiss Institute of Comparative Law, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Special thanks is expressed to two staff members of the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law: Frank Chapman, Librarian, and Martin Sychold, Staff Lawyer.
