One Zambian legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Zambian 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. Zambia coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=ZM&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Zambian legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Zambian 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 Zambian 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 Zambian 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 Zambian legal research
Zambian legal information is spread across the National Assembly, the Government 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 Zambia legal coverage
Zambia is a common-law jurisdiction rooted in English legal tradition, in which received English law, statutes enacted by the National Assembly, and customary law operate alongside one another. Primary legislation takes the form of Acts of Parliament and subsidiary statutory instruments, published in the Government of Zambia Gazette and consolidated in the Laws of Zambia. Guidance and regulatory policy sit across ministries and statutory agencies — the Bank of Zambia, the Securities and Exchange Commission, ZICTA, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, the Zambia Revenue Authority, and others. The court structure runs from the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court through the Court of Appeal, the High Court, and subordinate and local courts. Legal materials are published in English, the official language.
Zambian law has moved quickly in recent years: the Constitution was substantially amended by the Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Act No. 2 of 2016, the Companies Act No. 10 of 2017 and the Employment Code Act No. 3 of 2019 modernised core commercial and labour frameworks, and the Data Protection Act No. 3 of 2021 and the Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Act No. 2 of 2021 introduced new digital-era obligations — so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Zambia legal research answer correct today.
