How to never miss a new law or regulation
Thousands of acts are published every year. With jus.al keyword alerts you get one email each morning, with only the new laws, decisions and acts that matter to you.

The jus.al archive holds 4,793 acts and decisions dated 2025 alone. The Council of Ministers issued 449 acts and Parliament 206, and the rest came from ministries, regulators and the courts. Nobody reads them all. But a tax lawyer cannot miss a change to tax procedures, and a notary cannot miss an act on the cadastre.
That is what Keyword alerts are for. Write the words that matter to you, and jus.al looks for them in every new act and decision that reaches the archive.
How it works
- Write up to 30 keywords, one on each line. Each has 3 to 80 characters.
- Each morning at 07:00 (Albanian time) you get one email, with every new act that has your words in its title or text. Each act shows which keyword found it. The alert also appears under Notifications on the site.
- The search covers laws, Council of Ministers decisions, instructions and orders, and the decisions of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court.
- An act is sent only once, even when several keywords find it.
- A keyword brings the acts that arrive after you add it. The archive also fills with old acts, so only an act dated within the last 60 days counts as new.
- To stop the emails, empty the list and save it.
Choosing your keywords
Keywords are in Albanian, as the acts are. A word is also found with other endings: “shpronësim” (expropriation) also finds “shpronësimet” and “shpronësimin”, and “kadastr” finds “kadastrës” and “kadastrale”. The letters ë and ç do not matter, so “përfitim” and “perfitim” find the same acts.
Several words on one line are found only when they stand one right after the other, in that order. “vlerën e shtuar” finds every act on VAT, but “kontratë pune” does not find “kontratës së punës”, because “së” stands between them. When in doubt, use one distinctive word.
