Lakitutka.fi is an online service that compiles public documents related to the different stages of legislative drafting in one place. Lakitutka's easy-to-use yet versatile user interface offers everyone the opportunity to obtain information about the preparation of legislative projects that are important to them. The service is also beneficial for professionals working in the legal field: journalists, lawyers and researchers can easily obtain information related to legislative drafting in one place.

The website, launched in 2020, has been developed not only as part of LAWPOL but also through SILE, a project which aims to promote responsible legislation. The SILE project is funded by the Strategic Research Council (SRC), operating under the Research Council of Finland.
