New Electronic Resource: Heinonline Foreign and International Law Databases

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | August 13, 2007 - 12:23

The library's new subscription to Heinonline's Foreign and International Law Databases enables electronic searching over multiple titles previously available only in print. The titles are in pdf format, and may be printed or downloaded. Here is what is currently available:

Yearbooks - Yearbooks contain articles of current interest concerning the law of a foreign country and/or international law from a specific country's perspective. Yearbooks may discuss cases, legislation and treaties, and may even contain the text of new legislation.

Periodicals - including the Proceedings of the American Society of International Law (1907-2005)

US Law Digests on International Law - (through 1980. 1989-current available on the State Dept's web page.) The Digests, published by the U.S. State Department, provide current information on the views and practice of the U.S. Government in the arena of international law. Before 1973, the digests contained a comprehensive subject analysis. After 1973, the digests discuss only current international legal events.

International Tribunals/Judicial Decisions: Includes decisions from the Hague Permanent Court of International Justice and Reports of International Arbitral Awards.

Heinonline will periodically add new titles to this collection.
