How to Search World Legal Materials

Searching Individual Foreign or International Law Collections

With the exception of the Cornell Law Library's collection of material on the International Court of Justice, the treaties, constitutions, codes, judicial opinions, and other legal materials accessible from these pages are maintained by other institutions. Most provide some form of full text search, but the search engines and appropriate strategies of search vary widely. We suggest that when you access a foreign or international law site for the first time you read any available guidance on use of its searchable index if you encounter any difficulty with your search.
