Lex Cameroon publishes the law of Cameroon and of the legal orders Cameroon belongs to — OHADA, CEMAC, the African Union, and ratified treaties — as searchable, dated, citable text. Reading and searching the law is free, and stays free.
Every text carries its source, its authentic language and its verification status. We never present a translation as the authority: where a text exists only in French we quote it in French, and where only in English, in English.
See what Lex Cameroon holds — and what is still missing.
We publish unverified text and say so. A partial corpus whose limits are stated is more useful than a narrow one presented as complete.
There is no such thing as "the law" — there is the law as it stood on a date. Every provision carries its validity period, and you can read a text as it stood on a date you choose.
Lex Cameroon describes the law and the procedure. It does not tell you what to do in your matter. For advice on a particular situation, consult a lawyer admitted to the Bar.
Errors will exist. Every provision carries a link to report one, and reports join the review queue. It is the most useful way to contribute.
