FAQ: Portuguese law

Is the corpus in European Portuguese?+

Portugal is not a Latin American country. Why this section?+
Correct. Portugal is a European Portuguese-speaking country. We include Portugal in our international coverage since it shares legal roots with Brazil and other Lusophone countries, and many firms work with both jurisdictions.
