# law.co.il

> law.co.il is Israel's first legal website, online since March 1996 and operated by Adv. Haim Ravia, who heads the Cyber, Privacy & Copyright group at the law firm Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer Baratz. It publishes articles, news items, Israeli court decisions, legislation and curated knowledge centers on the intersection of law and technology — including artificial intelligence (AI), privacy and data protection, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, copyright and intellectual property, internet law, electronic signatures, open source and telecommunications.

The site is bilingual, and the two editions are not mirror images. The Hebrew edition at the root (/) is the original and far more comprehensive site: News, Articles, Case Law, Legislation, Knowledge Centers, a Topics taxonomy and Site Updates. The English edition under /en/ is a smaller subset covering News, Articles, a links directory, Insights, and the Cyber, Privacy & Copyright group's practice-area and lawyer pages. Link titles below are written in English with the original Hebrew in parentheses; most links point to the primary Hebrew pages, and the "English site" section lists the /en/ equivalents.

Access is free as a public resource, subject to the Terms of Use. Some content dates back to 1997; each item shows its original publication date, and older material may no longer reflect current law and is not a substitute for professional legal advice.
