Niger legal data from official sources, structured for AI and legaltech.
Nigerien laws, regulations, and court decisions live across the Journal Officiel de la République du Niger (JORN), government ministries, regulators, 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 Niger coverage is not yet live; Team and Enterprise customers can request priority onboarding of the sources below.

Nigerien legal source types we structure
Nigerien legal coverage will include primary legislation, secondary legislation, regulatory materials, court decisions, guidance, enforcement documents, and legislative history where available.
Legislation & Regulations
Laws (lois), ordinances (ordonnances), decrees (décrets), and ministerial orders (arrêtés), together with OHADA Uniform Acts applicable in Niger, taken directly from the Journal Officiel de la République du Niger (JORN) and official publications.
Legislative History
Draft laws and parliamentary materials from the National Assembly (Assemblée nationale) and transitional legislative bodies where available, version by version, each tied to its source.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Guidelines, notices, circulars, decisions, and enforcement materials from Nigerien regulators such as the BCEAO (regional central bank), ARCEP (electronic communications and post), the data protection authority (HAPDP), and the public procurement regulator (ARMP).
Case Law
Court and tribunal decisions from official and authoritative Nigerien sources, including the Cour de cassation and the Conseil d'État, and — for business-law matters — the OHADA Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA), where available.
One Nigerien legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Nigerien 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. Niger coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=NE&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Nigerien legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Nigerien 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 Nigerien 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 Nigerien 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.

Why Lawstronaut for Nigerien legal research
Nigerien legal information is spread across legislation portals, ministries, statutory agencies, regional bodies (BCEAO, OHADA), regulators, courts, and publication sources. 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 Niger legal coverage
Niger is a civil-law jurisdiction rooted in the French legal tradition, with a unified national legal system. Primary legislation is published in the Journal Officiel de la République du Niger (JORN) by the Secrétariat Général du Gouvernement, while regulatory policy sits across ministries and statutory agencies. As a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU/UEMOA), Niger's monetary and banking framework runs through the regional central bank (BCEAO), and as an OHADA member state its business and commercial law is governed largely by the OHADA Uniform Acts, with the Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA) in Abidjan as the court of last resort in those matters. Domestic case law spans the Cour de cassation, the Conseil d'État, and the Cour constitutionnelle. Legal materials are published primarily in French.
Niger's legal and institutional framework has shifted significantly in recent years, including the July 2023 change of government and the transitional arrangements that followed, alongside ongoing reform of investment, mining, telecommunications, and data-protection rules — so citations to superseded provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Niger legal research answer correct today.
