Product Description

The Foreign Law Guide (FLG) is a database offering relevant information on sources of foreign law, including complete bibliographic citations to legislation, the existence of English translations and selected references to secondary sources in one virtual destination. Broad in content and global in scope, the FLG is an indispensable resource for comparative law research and a fundamental tool for developing a foreign and comparative law collection. Approximately 190 jurisdictions are systemically covered and updated by a global team of experts.

Now offering coverage of the United States.

Each jurisdictional entry provides reliable information, such as:

• An introductory overview of the legal system and legal history;
• An outline of the judicial and legislative system;
• Primary and secondary sources of law and legal information;
• Links to major online sources;
• Identification of major legal publications.

The unique “Materials Indexed” feature presents a list of publications that provide full-text legislation, summaries of laws or translations, or detailed monographic treatment of laws on specific subjects, and serves as an important development tool for foreign and comparative legal collections.
Published by Brill since 2012, the FLG is now presented in a revised and increasingly user-friendly environment. Supporting the already well-established FLG brand, the new database offers a revised structure for the presentation of the rich content for each country, implementing the following enhancements:

• Improved content organization and structure;
• Upgraded search and browsing functionality allowing users to save, send, and email results;
• Streamlined and reorganized subject headings;
• Copy and paste functionality for Word processing;
• Advanced search capabilities;
• Personal preferences options allow researchers to access search history, and export search results to bibliographic software.

The Handbook of WTO/GATT Dispute Settlement Online offers instant access to a vast legal research database that includes:

• Updated summaries of 300+ WTO/GATT panel, Appellate Body, or arbitrator reports.
• Nine comprehensive indexes cross-referencing the reports by key word, article, country, subject, panelist, member, and more.
• Easy citation lists to track adoption status of reports.

This handbook is an essential resource for trade law practitioners that want to navigate and quickly master complex WTO/GATT reports spanning hundreds of pages in length.

International Law & World Order Online documentary collection reproduces diverse treaty and non-treaty instruments prominent in the following realms of international and transnational relations: Constitutive/Organic (Title I), War/Peace (Title II), Human Rights/Social Justice (Title III), Trade/Finance/Development (Title IV), and Earth/Space Environment (Title V).

Additionally, it provides up-to-date information on the legal status of these instruments, cites their official and unofficial sources, and references hundreds of other treaty and non-treaty instruments in the same realms. Included in addition to "treaties" are "agreements," "charters," "concluding documents," "conventions," "covenants," "decisions," "declarations," "draft articles," "final acts," "general acts," "joint statements," "manifestos," "memoranda," "pacts," "procès-verbals," "protocols," "resolutions," "rules," and "statutes."

Continuously updated, the collection is rich in information on both the history and current state of international law and affairs.
