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

Senegalese legal source types we structure
Senegalese 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 the OHADA Uniform Acts that apply directly in Senegal, taken from the Journal Officiel de la République du Sénégal and official publications.
Legislative History
Draft laws and parliamentary materials from the Assemblée nationale where available, version by version, each tied to its source.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Guidelines, notices, decisions, and enforcement materials from Senegalese regulators such as the BCEAO, ARTP, the Commission de Protection des Données Personnelles (CDP), and the Direction Générale des Impôts et des Domaines (DGID).
Case Law
Court and tribunal decisions from official and authoritative Senegalese sources, including the Cour suprême, the Conseil constitutionnel, and OHADA CCJA decisions on harmonized business law, where available.
One Senegalese legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Senegalese 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. Senegal coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=SN&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Senegalese legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Senegalese 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 Senegalese 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 Senegalese 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 Senegalese legal research
Senegalese legal information is spread across the Journal Officiel, ministries, statutory agencies, regulators, courts, and the OHADA and WAEMU regional frameworks. 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 Senegal legal coverage
Senegal is a civil-law jurisdiction rooted in French legal tradition, with a unified national legal system. Primary legislation is published in the Journal Officiel de la République du Sénégal (JORS) by the Secrétariat général du Gouvernement, while laws are adopted by the unicameral Assemblée nationale and guidance sits across ministries and statutory agencies. As a member of OHADA, WAEMU (UEMOA), and ECOWAS, Senegal also applies directly-effective regional instruments — the OHADA Uniform Acts on business law and BCEAO banking rules chief among them. Case law spans the Cour suprême, the Conseil constitutionnel, the Cour des comptes, and, for harmonized business law, the OHADA Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA). Legal materials are published primarily in French.
Senegalese law moves quickly: the 2001 Constitution has been revised repeatedly, including the 2016 referendum and later reforms to the executive; the 2019 Hydrocarbons Code (Loi n° 2019-03) and updated Petroleum and Mining codes reset the framework for the country's emerging oil and gas sector; and personal-data rules under Law No. 2008-12 continue to be applied through the Commission de Protection des Données Personnelles — so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Senegal legal research answer correct today.
