Title: Foreign Law Guide

This work is designed for the practitioner, scholar, and researcher and provides essential information on primary and secondary sources of foreign law—what it is, where to find it, and how to use it. It contains information on more than 170 jurisdictions from major nations to crown colonies, semi-independent states and supra-national regional organizations. The work is comprehensive in content and global in scope and contains exhaustive links within the work and to many URLs on the world level.

One of the very significant features is an ongoing reference to over 300 works that are indexed frequently and designated “Materials Indexed.” These are single or multi-volume publications that provide either full-text legislation, respectable summaries of laws or translations, as well as works that can be relied on for useful detailed monographic treatments of laws on specific subjects. Lastly, and not least (especially for the Internet user), Foreign Law Guide cites to hundreds of URLs containing reprints or translations of legislation (some of which are accessible only on a use-fee basis). All of this, in effect, represents a powerful means to keep abreast of relevant secondary sources and transcriptions of the text, either reprinted or translated, of a huge range of foreign laws.
