Law Librarians of New England
Welcome to LLNE Fall 2023
Retrieving and interpreting information from foreign sources is inherently challenging. Everything from available research tools to local political and legal systems may be unfamiliar, and primary material may be in a language you don’t understand. In the face of these obstacles, it is understandable that some researchers avoid the bewildering territory of international and non-US legal research. The Fog of War: International and Foreign Legal Research in Today’s World seeks to offer advice and highlight technology for navigating the perplexing landscape of international and non-US legal research.
Learn about how journalists and other recordkeepers are using new tools to document war zones, allowing researchers and tribunals new access to on-the-ground information. Learn about how to cut through all the noise to teach effective international and foreign legal research skills. Learn about how to find the most reliable foreign and international sources, and how to wade through the process of providing access to them, regardless of user location. Despite all the barriers to US lawyers and librarians, foreign and international can be one of the most interesting fields within legal research - come and un-fog yourself.
