Editorial Reviews:
This book 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 book bridges the oceanic divide.

Summary: Excellent Treatise or Textbook
Comment: The book is written by J. Paul Lomio, Director of the Law Library and Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and Henrik Spang-Hanssen, a Danish Supreme Court Attorney.

This 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. One specific strength of the book is its coverage of researching European Union legal research. It covers this subject in a level of detail not found in other works on the subject. Most guides to EU legal research merely skim the surface, mentioning just the very basic skills and techniques for research into EU law. This work digs deeply into EU legal research. It explains the functioning of EU institutions and the records and documents they produce. It is thoroughly footnoted with references to lead the reader back to primary source documents. An added feature is a teachers manual posted by one of the authors to SSRN.com.

I highly recommend this title to any professor or student of foreign and international legal research and for any law library collection.
