New International Materials

For this month's spotlight on international law databases, we look at the addition of international materials to Lexis Advance. Lexis has added case law and legislation for the following jurisdictions: South Africa, Australia, China and Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia, the European Union, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico.

To access these materials, you can click on the International tab, located to the right of the Practice Area or Industry tab on the Lexis Advance homepage. The jurisdictions are grouped together according to global regions. Some jurisdictions may only offer case law, like Australia. Other jurisdictions, like Mexico, offer laws in the language of the jurisdiction (in this case, Spanish), rather than an English translation.

One thing to note is that once you select your jurisdiction and the type of primary source you want to search, be it case law or legislation, you will then be taken to a search page that looks like Lexis Advance. However, you are in fact searching the same materials that were previously available through our former Lexis subscription. Also note that the default search setting on this page is a terms and connectors search so if you want to search using natural language, you need to change the setting above the search bar. Once you select the sources to search and enter your search, you will be taken to a results page that will look like the old version of Lexis. Whether this will continue to look like old Lexis in the coming months remains to be seen.

For now, the ability to access foreign and international materials on Lexis is a significant step forward.
