Research Tips for Faculty Research Assistants

This guide supplements training for research assistants for law faculty.

Overview

Dennis Sears was the Foreign and International Law Librarian at the BYU Law Library for many years and was our resident expert in this kind of research before he retired in May 2024. 

The resources listed on this page have been gathered by him, and most consider them way more useful than looking at the small portion of foreign law available on Westlaw or Lexis. Doing that is not recommended except as a last resort.

Resources to Find Foreign and International Law

The Foreign & International Law Research Guide should be your first stop to find international law, foreign law, human rights law, and documents related to the European Union.

This directory lists all the countries and allows you to click on the countries to see the resources available.
