Synopsis

A lawyer has to have experienced American society and the U.S. legal research environment, for quite some time to be able to truly understand the way American legal research is conducted. The same can be said about Americans visiting Europe and its different legal families. This book breaks the oceanic divide. It is the first legal research guide to consider the internationalization and globalization in both the new law school curriculums and the changing practice of law. Lawyers engaged in U.S./European transborder transactions need to know how to find, understand and compare applicable foreign and international laws. This second edition includes more Research Tips and a revised Chapter 4 with a special section on the E.U. Treaty of Lisbon. This edition also includes a teachers' manual as a companion to chapters 3-7. The book covers the subject of legal research methods in the U.S. and Europe in a depth and detail not found in other works. It could be used as a treatise on the subject or a textbook for a foreign and international legal research class.
