Greenland legal data from official sources, structured for AI and legaltech.
Greenlandic laws, regulations, and court decisions live across Nalunaarutit (the Greenlandic Law Gazette), Naalakkersuisut departments, Inatsisartut, Danish legislation extended to Greenland, and the courts. Lawstronaut structures legal data from official sources into one format used across more than 150 jurisdictions — with every record linked to its official source. Structured Greenland coverage is not yet live; Team and Enterprise customers can request priority onboarding of the sources below.

Greenlandic legal source types we structure
Greenlandic legal coverage will include primary legislation, secondary legislation, regulatory materials, court decisions, guidance, enforcement documents, and legislative history where available.
Legislation & Regulations
Inatsisartut Acts (Inatsisartutlov) and Inatsisartut executive orders (Inatsisartut bekendtgørelse), earlier Landsting Acts and Regulations (Landstingslov, Landstingsforordning), together with Danish Acts and royal decrees (anordninger) put into force for Greenland, taken directly from Nalunaarutit and Lovtidende.
Legislative History
Bills and parliamentary materials from Inatsisartut, the Parliament of Greenland, where available, version by version, each tied to its source.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Guidance, executive orders, notices, and enforcement materials from Naalakkersuisut departments and Greenlandic authorities such as the Mineral Licence and Safety Authority (MLSA) and the Environmental Agency for Mineral Resources Activities (EAMRA).
Case Law
Court and tribunal decisions from official Greenlandic sources, including the district courts (Kredsretter), the Court of Greenland (Retten i Grønland), and the High Court of Greenland (Grønlands Landsret), where available.
One Greenlandic legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Greenlandic laws, regulations, court decisions, regulatory guidance, and enforcement materials through a REST API. Use structured metadata, full text, Markdown, source links, and version history to power legaltech products, compliance workflows, and internal research tools. Greenland coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=GL&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Greenlandic legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Greenlandic materials — deployable in minutes, with no integration work, once coverage is live.
AI Agent Integration
Give your legal AI agent same-turn provenance: it retrieves current Greenlandic legal materials — official source links, metadata, and full text — before generating an answer, with a citation and timestamp on every response.
Build with Lawstronaut
Build Greenlandic legal search, monitoring, compliance, research, and legal AI features without crawling, parsing, normalizing, and updating official sources yourself. We handle source discovery, ingestion, normalization, versioning, and change detection; you build the product.
What you'll be able to do with Greenlandic legal data
- Retrieve legal metadata, full text, Markdown, source links, and original source files where available
- Filter by jurisdiction, portal, issuing authority, authority type, language, status, and dates
- Access official legal links for citation and audit trails — citation, timestamp, and source link returned in the same turn
- Track point-in-time versions and article-level changes across Greenlandic legal materials
- Run Horizon Scanning — track what changed in Greenlandic law, when, and where, without manual monitoring
- Connect AI agents to official Greenlandic sources through MCP; use the API for search, monitoring, compliance, and AI ingestion workflows
- Build internal Greenlandic legal research tools without maintaining your own crawler stack
Why Lawstronaut for Greenlandic legal research
Greenlandic legal information is spread across the Nalunaarutit law gazette, Naalakkersuisut departments, Inatsisartut, Danish legislation in force for Greenland, and the Greenlandic courts. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Greenland legal coverage
Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, operating under the Act on Greenland Self-Government (Act No. 473 of 12 June 2009). It follows a civil-law tradition inherited from Denmark but legislates for itself across the wide range of fields it has assumed responsibility for. Acts passed by Inatsisartut (the Parliament) and executive orders issued by Naalakkersuisut (the Government) are published in Nalunaarutit, the Greenlandic Law Gazette, while Danish Acts extended to Greenland by royal decree appear in Lovtidende. Greenland has its own Criminal Code (Kriminallov for Grønland) and Administration of Justice Act (Retsplejelov for Grønland), and its own court hierarchy — district courts, the Court of Greenland, and the High Court of Greenland (Grønlands Landsret) — with final appeals to the Danish Supreme Court. Legislation is published in Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) and Danish.
Greenlandic law keeps changing as the territory takes over further fields of responsibility from Denmark and reforms key sectors: the 2009 Mineral Resources Act reshaped the rules for exploration and mining, and successive amendments continue to adjust the licensing, environmental, and self-government framework — so citations to superseded provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Greenland legal research answer correct today.
