Hello PacLII. I've done consulting work around the Pacific for 13 years and have used your site literally every month over that time. You do tremendous work and should take pride in how much you help the Pacific. It is this behind-the-scenes work that really moves the ball: well done!!!

...I would like to also thank you for the outstanding service that PacLII provides for judges, practitioners, academics and students in the Pacific region.

"Dear Paclii Team
I just wanted to say a very big Thank you for looking into my request so quickly despite having the two day training.
I needed the protocol urgently for a research submission i have to make.
Your prompt assistance has helped me save time and effort to look for this information from other sources.
I greatly appreciate the work you put in to provide researchers such as myself with up-to date Pacific legal information and assistance."

" Appreciate your prompt reply and attention to this.
BTW, your site is a fantastic resource centre.
Please let me know if there is any organisation, Government funding agency, International Support Agency, etc.
to whom we can sing our praises of your website and resource service, so that you guys get the recognition you
deserve and hopefully enough funding to keep growing and improving your service. Keep up the good work. It's much appreciated !"

"Thank you very much for your most helpful explanation.
I truly appreciate the excellent service that you provide, despite the diverse challenges you face, and on which I rely in many different aspects of my work.
If there are ever materials with which I can assist, I shall be happy to do my best.
Meanwhile, thank you for all that your colleagues and you are doing to make our region's legal resources more widely available."

"Love the new design!"
Academic, USP, School of Law, on the subject of the revamped website. July 2015
"Please pass my thanks on to all the PacLII team for all the hard work you are doing. The website front page looks heaps better and the country pages are really clear. I had already stumbled across the RMI rules of professional conduct when I was browsing because the redesign is so much clearer.
And, as always, having current legal material is such a help."
USP, School of Law Academic - July 2015
"I have been meaning to write for some time to thank you and your staff for the excellent service that you provide. It is true to say that the research capability of all scholars involved in South Pacific research is greatly enhanced by the information available on the Paclii site. The information serves not only to assist academic endeavours, but also to assist with preparation of practical legal advice and with legal reform. The amount of information now available is impressive and where I have requested assistance to obtain additional resources, I have always received a prompt and helpful response.
I do not know what I would do without this service, and hope that I don't ever have to find out! Thank you again for continuing to provide such a worthwhile and important facility."
Academic, School of Law at an Australian University. - June 2015
"Your reports are indispensable. There are similarities and I have always appreciated the reasoning of your judgments.
It provides me with an opportunity to compare the reasoning in various jurisdictions.
The district court in Ghana is the lowest court in my country but it is the first call of court for the ordinary man
It has quite a wider jurisdiction and deals in matters involving juveniles,families,criminals as well as civil cases.the district magistrate also serves as a coroner.
I recently joined the bench and I find it very pleasant."
Magistrate in Ghana. May 2015
"We are doing a lot of work with Court's Annual Reports and one of the key indicators is to have these Report publicly available, hence the brilliance of PacLii."
Pacific Judicial Development Programme. May 2015
"So good to hear that PacLii and staff came through the cyclone reasonably well. You all do such a great job for the benefit of all of us, even in such difficult circumstances!
It's really appreciated."
New Zealand Parliamentary Library. April 2015
"Well done, keeping the whole show on the road during that huge cyclone - and reporting it so well."

Thanks again for your help chasing down the PVMC Boundaries, they were crucial in developing the draft climate vulnerability assessment for Port Vila that we are now finalising in partnership with NDMO and the PV council.

Thank you for the updates and information. We value the wonderful work that you do and the ease and convenience with which it is so easy to access laws and legislation and cases not only from SI but also from other jurisdictions.

I should have also said that your database is brilliant, without it law in the Pacific would be unmanageable!!!

Thank you so much.
Your publications are inciteful.
I have enjoyed reading the judgments from your jurisdiction even though they are of persuasive effect in my country Ghana.

Your law database has been extremely helpful in my research there. Even local lawyers nor US embassy staff was not aware your database until I showed them

Thank you so much for the speed and diligence with which you responded to my request.
I am very pleased to have access to an electronic version of this legislation together with the related legislation regarding the transportation of animals.
I am even more pleased to know that you will be entering them into the website so that they will be readily accessible to everyone...Unfortunately it is a little known and even less enforced piece of legislation but at least if it is included in the Consolidation of Fiji Laws it can be more easily referred to.

New Zealand Parliament does a lot work in the Pacific and one of the challenges to get access to relevant legislation particularly. The PACII website is a great resource, so keep up the good work.

I want to thank you again for taking the time from your busy schedule to discuss the start-up of the Liberia Legal Information Institute. Access to the law of Liberia was severely affected by fourteen years of civil war and many more years of political instability. As the nation recovers from its recent history of conflict the Liberia Legal Information Institute will play an important role in supporting a future based on the rule of law. I wish to thank you and [your team] for sharing information about PacLII's development from an organizational and technical standpoint, and for your advice concerning the development of the LibLII. PacLII's support is very much appreciated.

I would like to express my appreciation for the Pacific legislation available online at this website.
I am an accountant in New Zealand, working for an organisation that works in a number of Pacific countries, eg Fiji, Samoa, Tonga.
This legislation is extremely valuable when performing tax research on those countries.
In general, I find the legislation more accessible here than on the actual tax department's own website.
I would be very grateful if you would continue to provide & maintain this excellent service.

I am the Legal Coordinator for the Child Rights Information Network (CRIN); our mission is to provide information about children's rights from jurisdictions around the world, and we rely heavily on PacLII in our work. It is not easy to find information resources in the Pacific, particularly those with a legal focus. PacLII has proven to be a truly wonderful way of finding not only laws that relate to children and human rights in the region, but a whole host of other networks and organizations who share our vision - we strongly believe that making information freely available online is a vital public good, and wholeheartedly appreciate and support PacLII's work to make this possible.

Thank you for the creation of this website, i find it useful to be able to access not only legilstations from various countries in the Pacific but also court rulings. I never knew that a website like this ever existed especially given that it is related to the Pacific. I congratulate you all for the work well done and will spread the word to my work colleagues and friends.

Hi, this is my first time to have access to PacLII. I am very impressed with the amount of information that is so freely accessible. Being in the Law and Justice Sector it helps me keep abreast of and with the times.
