Saudi Starbucks Arrest, Circus Goers & Aerial Earth Imagery

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | April 07, 2008 - 13:46

Did you know that this February, woman in Saudi Arabia was arrested for being in a Starbucks with a male colleague?

Or that this January, a seven-year ban on attending opera and circus performances was lifted in Turkmenistan?

What about Germany's new Act Protecting Against the Endangerment of German Security Through the Proliferation of High Resolution Aerial Imagery of Earth?

The source for these tantalizing pieces of far-flung legal information is the March issue of the Global Legal Monitor, an electronic publication of the Law Library of Congress. The Global Legal Monitor provides timely updates on legal developments worldwide, with information drawn from the Global Legal Information Network, offical national legal publications, and reliable media sources. Back issues of the Global Legal Monitor are available online from May 2006.

The Law Library of Congress also publishes Current Legal Topics, a series of online research guides which includes guides on international topics such as children's rights, Cuba and Castro's resignation, the legal history of Iraq, and the Hariri assassination.
