"People Resources" in International Law

Lyonette Louis-Jacques (Montserrat Biedermann)


This project focuses on "people" resources for researching foreign, comparative, and international law. It is based on two guides: "Where the Fierce Things Are: People Resources for International Law Research" and "Jumpstart Your Foreign, Comparative, and International Research: Use People Resources". Both focus on law librarians, government agencies, international organizations, and other people resources around the world that specialize in and/or are willing to help other law librarians and legal information professionals with questions about foreign, comparative, and international legal materials. It's a work in progress! :-)
