Book Display on L1: International Law Casebooks and Textbooks

The new book display on L1 showcases international law textbooks and casebooks in the law library collection. In the chapter “Comparing International law Textbooks and Casebooks” (Anthea Roberts, Is International Law International? Oxford University Press, 2017), the author observed that textbooks “play an important socializing role in shaping understandings of which issues are core and form part of the field, which sources are important, which debates are controversial, which norms are settled, which rules are liable to change, and who and what the leading authorities are”.

Accompanying the textbooks on display are journal articles with bibliographic surveys of these teaching and learning tools, used in different countries and regions, published at different times, reflecting different legal systems, traditions and cultures. To explore the topic and find related library materials, search in Quicksearch or Morris by Subject Heading: International Law – Study and Teaching. Discover jurisdiction-specific titles by applying Language or Subject (Region/Country) filters.
