transnational Guide

The Foreign and International Law Collection is located on L1, UES, and LES of the Yale Law School Library. In addition to providing research assistance and instruction to our faculty and students, we collect foreign law (the law of countries other than the United States of America), comparative law (the comparison of law of different jurisdictions), transnational law (law of multi-country organizations, for purposes of this website -- European Union, African Union, etc.) and international law (the law between and among countries -- treaties, agreements, international court decisions, commentary, etc.).

We have a world-renowned international human rights collection, extensive European collections, and quickly-expanding Latin American and Asian collections. We are available to assist you in the F/I office on L1, Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.
