One Rwandan legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Rwandan 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. Rwanda coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=RW&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP

Why Lawstronaut for Rwandan legal research
Rwandan legal information is spread across the Official Gazette, ministries, statutory agencies, regulators, courts, and publication sources — and across Kinyarwanda, French, and English. 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 Rwanda legal coverage
Rwanda has a mixed legal system: historically rooted in the civil-law tradition inherited from Belgian and German colonial administration, it has progressively integrated common-law elements since joining the Commonwealth in 2009 and the East African Community. Primary legislation — organic laws, ordinary laws, and presidential, prime minister's, and ministerial orders — is published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Rwanda, while regulatory policy sits across ministries and statutory agencies such as the National Bank of Rwanda, the Capital Market Authority, RURA, and the National Cyber Security Authority. Case law spans the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the High Court, and the Commercial Courts. Legal materials are published in Kinyarwanda, French, and English.
Rwandan law moves quickly: the 2003 Constitution was revised in 2015, the labour code was overhauled by Law N° 66/2018, Law N° 058/2021 introduced a comprehensive personal-data-protection regime, and successive investment and business-registration reforms have repeatedly reset the rules for domestic and foreign investors — so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Rwanda legal research answer correct today.
