Want to do some armchair travelling? Interested in the history of the
legal system? Need to know what global policymakers are thinking? Are
your foreign legal research skills rusty? Wondering what the fuss about
the Romanov Jewels is? Looking for an update on NAFTA or the Cuban
Embargo?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, reserve some time
to attend the programs in the Foreign, Comparative and International Law
track at the AALL Conference and Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
Programs in this track have wide-ranging appeal:
"From Russia with Law"; "Cuban Legal and Political Systems"; "Our
Neighbours to the North and South"
These programs will focus on researching the legal systems, the law, and
legal information in Russia, Cuba, Mexico and Canada respectively
"Keeping Art or Sending it Back"
A look at the legal issues surrounding the retention of cultural
property by museums, libraries and other repositories
"Official Gazettes: The Ultimate Source for Foreign Statutes"
An examination of procedures in locating and using official gazettes -
often the primary source for statutes in foreign jurisdictions
"Information Policy at the Crossroads: The Challenge of Globalization"
The speakers will discuss the influence of global organizations and
treaties on American information policy
"The Transatlantic World"
A review of the history of legal developments from the English Civil War
to the 18th century and the influence of these developments on the
American Colonies (and vice versa)
The Annual Meeting Program Selection Committee 1999 hopes that you will
find the programs in the Foreign, Comparative and International Law
track provide valuable opportunities to expand your knowledge of the
world of legal information.
