Therefore, one of the major directives of NCLI activity is research and scientific and practical activities in the field of legal informatization, which include not only the realization of appropriate research, but also the active practical application of the results.

With the ambition to coordinate scientific activity and to develop of the state system of legal information a Scientific and Advisory Council (SAC) was created in the NCLI, in accordance with clause 15 of Regulations on National Center of Legal Information of the Republic of Belarus approved by the Edict of the President of the Republic of Belarus of October 30, 1998 No. 524, “On Measures on Improvement of State System of Legal Information”.

The main objectives of the creating the SAC are:

  • to determine prior directives of scientific-research and development projects of the NCLI in the sphere of legal informatization;

  • to contribute to the development of cooperation with domestic and foreign scientific organizations with the aim of effectively using the achievements of legal science and information-communication technologies to forme a single information and legal space of the Republic of Belarus.
