Sudan legal data from official sources, structured for AI and legaltech.
Sudanese laws, regulations, and court decisions live across the Republic of Sudan Gazette (Al-Jarida al-Rasmiyya), 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 Sudan coverage is not yet live; Team and Enterprise customers can request priority onboarding of the sources below.

Which statute sets out the general criminal law of Sudan?
The Criminal Act 1991 (al-Qanun al-Jina'i li-sanat 1991) is Sudan's principal penal statute, enacted in 1991 and published in the Republic of Sudan Gazette; it codifies offences and penalties, including provisions drawn from Islamic law.

One Sudanese legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Sudanese 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. Sudan coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=SD&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Sudanese legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Sudanese 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 Sudanese 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 Sudanese 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 Sudanese legal research
Sudanese legal information is spread across the official gazette, ministries, statutory agencies, 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 Sudan legal coverage
Sudan operates a mixed legal system that combines Islamic (Sharia) law with a common-law heritage inherited from the Anglo-Egyptian condominium period, overlaid by codified statutes. Primary legislation is enacted as Acts and published in the Republic of Sudan Gazette (Al-Jarida al-Rasmiyya); the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General's chambers administer the statute book, while the legislature has taken the form of the National Assembly and, since the 2019 transition, a Transitional Legislative Council. The court system is headed by the Supreme Court of Sudan, with a Constitutional Court and courts of appeal below it, and regulators include the Bank of Sudan and the Telecommunication and Post Regulatory Authority. Legal materials are published primarily in Arabic.
Sudanese law has changed dramatically in a short span: the 2019 Draft Constitutional Charter (Constitutional Document) for the transitional period reset the institutional framework, the Fundamental Rights and Freedoms (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2020 repealed a range of long-standing provisions, and the armed conflict that began in April 2023 has continued to disrupt institutions and publication — so citations to superseded provisions can easily be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Sudanese legal research answer correct today.
