New electronic subscription: Foreign Law Guide

Barco has added a new electronic subscription to our collection of online licensed databases: Foreign Law Guide: Current Sources of Codes and Basic Legislation in Jurisdictions of the World. This is the online version of the print book Foreign Law: Current Sources of Codes and Basic Legislation in Jurisdictions of the World by law librarians Thomas Reynolds and Alberto Flores (available in our international collection - K520 .R49). Containing information on more than 170 jurisdictions, the database is designed to locate primary and secondary sources of foreign law and is an excellent starting point for finding foreign law both in the language of the country and in translation. For each country there is a brief introduction to the legal system, a list of past and current sources of legal information including both print and online and a section listing sources of law by subject.
The simple search interface allows you to search the database for words or phrases by country. Access to the database is by IP address, which means that you can use the database from any computer in the Barco law building or via the law school wireless network.
