Respecting preservation of digital legal materials, the American 
Association of Law Libraries has organized the Legal Information 
Preservation Alliance (LIPA):

which coordinates this work in the U.S., including providing 
guidance respecting copyright and licensing issues,

One of LIPA's major initiatives is The Chesapeake Project: Legal 
Information Archive

http://cdm266901.cdmhost.com/

a testbed archive of digital legal resources, managed by 
Georgetown University Law Library, the Maryland State Law 
Library, and the Virginia State Law Library.  Chesapeake's 
copyright policy is at
