There’s a new free web resource that can help you with researching, teaching, and increasing your own knowledge in the field of international law. More than just a finding guide, the Electronic Information System for International Law (EISIL) can be used in classroom, law firm and non-legal environments as an educational or instructional tool. EISIL is available at www.eisil.org.
EISIL includes over 1,500 selected sources, organized into 13 subject groupings in a fully searchable database that provides access to the highest quality primary materials, authoritative Web sites and helpful research guides. For each source, EISIL also offers helpful background information for researchers, such as citations and references, dates when laws or treaties were concluded, and links to related resources.
For more information, and a one-page classroom handout, go to the About EISIL page, or, see the article on LLRX.com.
ISIL is managed by the Washington D.C.-based American Society of International Law (ASIL). Founded in 1906, ASIL is the leading non-profit membership organization dedicated to advancing the study and use of international law. Additional information on ASIL is available online at www.asil.org or by calling 202-939-6000.
