This week, the New York Times reported the death of Ernesto Sábato, renowned novelist and head of the commission that investigated the crimes committed by Argentina's military dictatorship during the "Dirty War" from 1976 to 1983.

Weather-wise, October is a great time to visit New York City, and you beat the crowded November and December holiday season.If your plans are bringing you here October 21-23 this year, anchor your vacation with a little continuing professional ed at this year's International Law Weekend.

I've been reviewing available sources of foreign case law in the original languages and in English translation. I started with the databases to which law students and faculty would already have access - LexisNexis and Westlaw.With LexisNexis, that nice file that just had foreign primary law seems to be gone, but the countries for which there is caselaw are: Australia, Canada, China (I somehow

SALALM LV (Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials) took place this summer in Providence, Rhode Island, hosted by Brown University Library with several other sponsors. The conference panels and informative sessions were exceptional. I particularly enjoyed learning about the long-standing collaborative efforts between and among several universities' Latin American

Yesterday I attended three meetings and the Georgetown reception. I was able to observe both a lively panel as well the more businesslike meetings in which more of the national reporters issue their reports in one of the comparative law areas. I have to apologize in advance that I needed to stay with areas in which I write guides. Even so, it was not possible to stay for all of two concurrent

Today, July 26th, the plenary addressed The Role of Comparative Law in Courts and International Tribunals.I was unable to attend the entire session. My notes reflect the parts that I heard and some of the essays circulated by the panelists.

Hello. Welcome back to the FCIL-SIS blog as we begin making some changes and upgrades during Summer 2010. We hope you'll find the blog a helpful complement to interesting and highly useful FCIL blogs like Opinio Juris. We'd like to begin by announcing that the American Society of International Law has added a research-oriented ASIL interest group: The International Legal Research Interest Group (

Well, Colleagues, I'm in Starbucks across from the Fairmont Hotel in DC and no time like the present to practice for the revived blog. I would like for it to move beyond collection development and call in the FCIL Blog or we could have a contest to name it something clever like R2B (Responsibility to Blog). OK, maybe lame and too arcane. In any event, new among the specialized exhibiters are the

What a week. The balance of print and electronic never seemed more complex. We started with a list of serials up for renewal, and I cancelled several titles (or at least, I will find out early next week if they were active or lapsed and how much they really were versus my rough calculations; at that time I will share those specialized British titles with this FCIL blog). My hope was to reach

We were alerted last week to the discovery that LexisNexis Canada seems to be adopting the business model of its Butterworth products outside the US and giving US educational accounts just "slices" of the country information. While we could previously use separate passwords for the old Quicklaw system, these are now de-activated.Along with French and Argentinian sources, commonwealth materials

Dear FCIL Colleagues and OthersLo, the sleeping blog awakes! In New Orleans at this year's (2007) AALL meeting and Electronic Issues Group meeting, several in attendance favored the continuation and expansion of the blog with more information and perhaps added features.

This database seems to be very similar to International Law Reports (ILR) in concept. Has anyone subscribed to the database and done a comparison? Also, those who have subscribed, what are some of the pros and cons re? Thanks, Lyonette.
