International law is based
on an entirely different set of documents, governing
bodies, courts, and general principles than U.S. law
and even students who are excellent U.S. legal researchers
cannot be expected to know where to start when confronted
with their first international law question. This course
will cover the basic sources of international law,
treaty research, research in international courts and
tribunals, UN and NGO research, and foreign and comparative
law research. Much of the course will focus on internet
and online research, though print materials will be
introduced throughout the semester.
