Hmm. Is there any practical help the WMF could
provide in this
endeavour? Aside from buckets of money, which appears to be the thing
the endeavour is most in need of.
Are there other countries where the law is not easily available and a
word from us would help?
From what I recall the law is protected by copyright everywhere other
than the US and North Korea (North Korea is kinda unclear it depends
on what exactly is meant by government pronouncements).
I don't think that is true. For what I precisely know, in France
published laws are public domain.
If some texts are public domain but not easily available, they could be
hosted on Wikisource.

UK was thinking about making accessibility hard but
decided against it.
Other than that availability of laws especially the older stuff is
kinda limited.
