# GetLawED — verified South African law

> GetLawED (getlawed.co.za, by GetKonnektED) is a South African legal practice platform with a library of official South African legal texts — judgments, Acts split into sections, regulations, municipal by-laws and land use schemes, Government Gazettes, and SARS and regulator guidance — each traceable to its official source and gazette reference.
