**ASPI** is Wolters Kluwer's flagship Slovak legal database, the same product family as Czech ASPI but built on separate Slovak-law content. It is an **Add-on** source — it needs an active ASPI subscription with Wolters Kluwer — and it is the only Slovak source Libra offers. The Sources by country table on [Setting up integrations](/en/integrations/setup) lists every other jurisdiction.

**Practice areas covered well:** civil, commercial/corporate, criminal, tax, labour, administrative, insolvency, family, social.

## Market context

ASPI is generally treated as the leading comprehensive Slovak legal-information system. Its main rivals are **Beck-online.sk** (C.H.Beck SK, strong on Beck commentaries) and **EPI** (Poradca podnikateľa, strong on tax/business and the Zbierka zákonov).

## What you can ask

* *"Show all Najvyšší súd SR decisions citing § 420 Občianskeho zákonníka."*
* *"Time-version of zákon č. 311/2001 Z.z. (Zákonník práce) effective on a given date with linked commentary."*
* *"What does Slovak case law say about restrictive covenants in B2B contracts?"*
* *"Find commentary on recent reforms to Slovak commercial law."*

## Setup

Connect via **Settings → Integrations** using your firm's ASPI credentials — the connector is listed as **ASPI**, *Slovak legal research*. Once it is connected, the source appears in the chat **Research** picker as **ASPI (SK)**, and you switch it on per question like any other source — see [Research mode](/en/features/chat/research-mode). The flow is the same for every source — see [Setting up integrations](/en/integrations/setup).

<Note>
  An ASPI subscription on its own is not enough. Wolters Kluwer also has to enable Libra access on the ASPI account, and Libra reads that permission out of the sign-in token. Without it, sign-in completes but the connection stops on a **CONTENT ACCESS REQUIREMENT** screen — *"You're signed in — but we can't find active content to use in Libra"* — offering **Get a subscription**, **Contact support** and **Back to Libra**. If you hit that with ASPI credentials that otherwise work, ask your firm administrator to have Wolters Kluwer switch Libra access on for the account.

## Combining with other sources

| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pure Slovak legal research   | **ASPI** alone.                                                                    |
| Slovak + EU harmonised topic | ASPI + **[European Union Case Law](/en/integrations/european-union/eu-case-law)**. |
| Cross-border SK + CZ         | ASPI + **[ASPI (Czech Republic)](/en/integrations/czech-republic/aspi)**.          |

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What language is the material in?">
    ASPI is a Slovak-language database: the statutes, judgments and commentaries Libra cites are the Slovak originals.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the difference between ASPI (SK) and ASPI (CZ)?">
    They cover different jurisdictions, Slovak and Czech law respectively, and they are separate subscriptions listed as two separate sources in the **Research** picker. Firms practising across both countries typically subscribe to both. See **[ASPI (Czech Republic)](/en/integrations/czech-republic/aspi)**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if my firm doesn't have ASPI?">
    ASPI is bought from Wolters Kluwer rather than through Libra. Your firm administrator can arrange a subscription from the [ASPI product page](https://www.aspi.sk/?utm_medium=referral\&utm_source=libra+website).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Tips

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Cite by paragraph and act number">
    *"§ 420 OZ"* / *"zákon č. 311/2001 Z.z."*: Slovak lawyers cite by paragraph and law number, and ASPI is structured around them.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use time-versions when the date matters">
    For matters where you need the law as it stood at a specific date, name the date; ASPI's time-versioning surfaces the right text.
  </Accordion>
