The Grant states that DOS encourages the widest practicable dissemination of research results at any time.  To accomplish this objective, the Project employed Iraqi interpreters and translators to assist in implementing the Project‘s activities in Iraq. Dozens of technical papers and legal analyses were translated from English to Arabic and disseminated to GOI officials. Similarly, dozens of proposed Iraqi laws were translated from Arabic to English and then analyzed by Project experts. Project experts are completing a book series (in English and Arabic), including a guide to Iraqi law and policy, Iraqi federalism, the Iraqi Constitution, Iraqi anti-corruption efforts, and Iraqi criminal procedure.

The Project‘s website at www.gjpi.org has been a publicly available information repository about the Iraqi legal framework. The Project website includes laws in translation, analyses, news and information about legislation, court cases, organizations involved in legal work in Iraq, and links to Iraqi and other sources of legislation. The Project also created a parallel Arabic language website. All of this information is being transferred to a permanent database maintained by the University of Utah‘s Marriott Library to preserve the material record of the Project, to organize and disseminate this information in a meaningful manner, and to provide useful reference resources to Iraqi leaders, current and future researchers, and to the global public. The Project also has published articles and books (in English and Arabic) as lasting reference sources for GOI officials, Iraqi educators, international scholars, and others who are interested in Iraq and its Constitution, government, laws, legal system, and anti-corruption efforts.

The Project Website (in English and Arabic)
The Project‘s website www.gjpi.org is a public window for the Project which served as a useful resource about the Iraqi legal framework during the Grant period and which served as the information repository of the Project until the information was transferred to a permanent database at the University of Utah‘s Marriott Library. The Project website included laws in translation, regular news and information about legislation, court cases, organizations involved in legal work in Iraq, and links to Iraqi and other sources of legislation. A parallel Arabic language site was developed at www.gjpi.org/arabic/. A Project website content map showing materials on the website in English and Arabic was provided to CLA.

Project Documentation Outline
The goals for Project documentation were to capture and preserve the material record of the Project, to organize and disseminate this information in a meaningful context, and to provide a useful reference resource to current and future researchers and to the global public.

The following is an outline of key activities undertaken by the Project Librarian and by Global Justice Project Think Tank students and fellows.

Information gathering: Materials were gathered from the existing collections in Dropbox, Basecamp, and the GJPI website – particularly the blog entries. Materials included:

• Documents
• Email correspondence
• Photos/Videos
• Journal/Blog entries Information organization/classification

• Graphical representations of complex ideas and processes (Legislative process system, document lifecycle, schematics, etc)

Information was organized according to central activities as defined in the project work plan

• Key developments and deliverables were highlighted
• Related documents were interlinked
• Authors/Contributors were linked relationally with activities and deliverables. Development of an archival database
• Each item was branded with the GJPI logo, date-stamped, and proper attribution given to authors/contributors
• An unpublished collection in the CONTENTdm archival database was created for the Iraq project at: http://content.lib.utah.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=/qip. A separate, private database was created for sensitive materials
• All files were converted to the appropriate archival format (all documents to PDF, images to JPEG or TIFF)
• Once uploaded to the database, items were cataloged with descriptive metadata (Title, author, publisher, etc)
• Items are discoverable in Google and other Internet search engines Creation of a Project Documentation website

• All materials that can be made publically accessible were identified and links created for them in gjpi.org Supplemental multimedia development

Iraqi Laws and Secondary Materials
Many people outside Iraq do not know Iraqi law in Arabic and have to rely on existing English translations, but no central collection of translated Iraqi laws exists. When the Project commenced, the relevant English translations that existed were often of poor quality, out of date and misleading. The Project collected together Iraqi laws, Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) Resolutions, and Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) Orders and, where necessary, substantially revised existing English translations and provided new translations.

The Project obtained copies (in Arabic) of all relevant laws presented to the COR and translated many of these into English and made them available on the Project Website. Materials made available include:
