Are you looking for a Code or statute from from a country outside the U.S. and don't know where to start? Foreign Law Guide (BrillOnline Reference Works) will most likely be a helpful and important first step. It provides essential information for identifying, locating, and using primary and secondary sources of foreign law, especially when you don’t have a citation and need background information in order to know where to look for a law.

Foreign Law Guide currently covers over 190 countries and the European Union. Information for each country is edited by one or more law librarians and/or legal experts, and includes an introduction to the legal system, followed by a list of codifications, gazettes, court reporters, and other legal publications, as well as a grouping of sources of law by subject.

For questions or help in getting the most out of Foreign Law Guide, contact Sunil Rao, Foreign and International Law Librarian.
