# Portable Lawyer

> Free, unauthenticated, verbatim constitutional text for 9 jurisdictions — Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Israel, Brazil and Moldova — with one stable, citable URL per indexed provision.

## What this site is

Portable Lawyer mirrors the published text of national constitutions and serves each indexed passage verbatim at its own permanent URL. There is no paywall, no account, and no authentication on any text surface: any crawler, agent or person can read the full corpus.

Every provision page is server-rendered HTML, so the text is present in the initial response with no JavaScript execution required.

Corpus as of this response: 0 jurisdictions, 0 indexed passages.

## Where the authoritative content lives

- Provision page (the citation unit, verbatim text): https://www.portablelawyer.app/provision/{sectionId}
- Constitution / jurisdiction page: https://www.portablelawyer.app/countries/{countryId}
- Full list of every indexed provision: https://www.portablelawyer.app/sitemap.xml
- Machine-readable corpus digest (counts + every provision URL): https://www.portablelawyer.app/llms-full.txt

Provision and country pages accept `Accept: text/markdown` and return the same content as markdown, with the full verbatim text in a fenced block. HTML is returned when the client does not prefer markdown, so a normal browser is unaffected.

## Jurisdictions

_The upstream index could not be reached at the time this file was generated._

## How to cite a provision

Each provision page states its own citation string and its canonical URL in a "How to cite this" line. The canonical URL is stable and is the correct target for a citation; `#section-<id>` fragments on a country page are not.

## What is not here

- This file is an index. The provision text is not duplicated here; fetch the provision URL.
- Structural metadata is reproduced exactly as the upstream index stores it. Article numbers are absent for many passages, and some index rows contain a whole chapter rather than a single provision. Where that is the case the page says so rather than guessing a number. Never infer an article number that the page does not state.
- The plain-language "what this means" block on each provision page is generated mechanically from the words in the text. It is a reading aid, not legal advice.
