Our Collection

The international law collection maintains a reputation as one of the best in the country, with a strong English-language collection of resources on public and private international law in both print and electronic formats. The collection includes many of the specialized subjects within international law at an advanced graduate level, with particular strengths in international economic law, human rights, the environment, treaty law, taxation, and health law. The collection includes documentation from many international organizations, including the International Court of Justice, the United Nations, the League of Nations, the European Union, the Council of Europe, and the World Trade Organization.

The library maintains deep foreign law collections for some jurisdictions such as Mexico, France, Germany, and Great Britain. We also collect materials and resources for many other jurisdictions with a strong view to integrating the materials into a unique collection for advanced comparative work in constitutional law and across the families of legal systems. Materials may be in English or a foreign language. Religious law – for Islamic, canon law and Jewish law – is collected primarily in English.
