LexActo is an electronic tool for managing annotated legislation. It is a knowledge and legal information management system that facilitates the production and management of added value to one or more legislative documents. LexActo makes it possible to annotate sections of legislation, build links with online case law and legislation, and attach a wide array of documents, including memos, legal opinions and reports. Once inserted, the annotations can be searched jointly with the legislative text. By leveraging LexUM's technologies, LexActo efficiently integrates the internal documentation of practice groups with the public legal information freely available on the Internet.
