Among the different techniques under scrutiny, codification is often presented as the most efficient means to simplify, clarity and ratinoalise law. The difficulties of this task make information technology and indispensable ally. Nevertheless any project of simplification brings with it its own paradoxes. This is particularly so when it comes to legal codification. Hence the development of a real public service for the provision of legal information seems necessary in order to facilitate both the task of those charged with codification and also that of those people seeking to use the law.
