Why Lawstronaut for Malagasy legal research
Malagasy legal information is spread across the Journal Officiel, the legislature, ministries, statutory agencies, regulators, courts, and publication sources, in French and Malagasy. 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 Madagascar legal coverage
Madagascar is a civil-law jurisdiction rooted in French legal tradition, layered over customary Malagasy law in areas such as land and family relations. Primary legislation — laws, ordinances, and decrees — is published in the Journal Officiel de la République de Madagascar (JORM), enacted by a bicameral Parliament made up of the Assemblée Nationale and the Sénat. The judiciary is headed by the Cour Suprême, which comprises the Cour de Cassation, the Conseil d'État, and the Cour des Comptes, with the Haute Cour Constitutionnelle ruling on constitutionality. Regulatory policy sits across bodies such as Banky Foiben'i Madagasikara (the central bank), the CMIL for personal data, ARTEC for communications, and the EDBM for investment. Legal materials are published in French and Malagasy, both official languages.
Malagasy law continues to evolve under the Constitution of the Fourth Republic, adopted by referendum in 2010, with reforms including the 2014 personal data protection law (Loi n° 2014-038) and successive investment and sectoral statutes — so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Madagascar legal research answer correct today.
