Old Law Commission reports on BAILII website

Writing about web page http://www.justice.gov.uk/lawcommission/publications.htm

The Law Commission has revised its website, and it is now possible to find online versions of their early reports which were previously available only in print, as well as more recent ones. To find them, select the Publications link from the Law Commission home page, then you will find information about reports published before 1996. Just click the link to British and Irish Legal Information Institute. Reports are available back to 1965; some may not yet be digitised, but we should have them in print on Floor 4 of the Library at classmark 41 N 20 (Law Commission).

Database of court & tribunal decisions relating to indigenous peoples

Writing about web page http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cepmlp/mining/indigenous/

The Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP) has launched a database of court/tribunal decisions dealing with documents involving indigenous parties (eg. treaties, impact & benefit agreements, petitions, land use agreements). The database can help parties working with developer-indigenous relations, by identifying relevant decisions and commentary on courts' approaches to indigenous agreements.

The database is free and fully searchable and can be accessed here, along with general information about the work:

http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cepmlp/mining/indigenous/

This database has been compiled from over 200 cases and articles from courts/tribunals in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States of America. The decisions collated for the database are those that interpret or apply documents involving indigenous parties. The database shows, for each decision:

·      a brief summary of the decision (including URL where available);

·      the details of the document(s) involving indigenous parties; and

·      a summary of the court's/tribunal's engagement with that document.

Research for the database was conducted with the assistance of funding from the Nuffield Foundation, a charitable trust with the aim of advancing social well-being. It funds research and innovation, predominantly in social policy and education. It has supported this project, but the views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Foundation. More information is available at www.nuffieldfoundation.org

Foreign Law Guide – FLAG

Writing about web page http://ials.sas.ac.uk/library/flag/flag.htm

Here's a useful online guide to UK printed collections of the law of other jurisdictions, the Foreign Law Guide or FLAG for short! It is available on the website of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and is strongly recommended if you need to check which libraries to use for research. Partners in the project are the Squire Law Library, Cambridge; the Bodleian Law Library in Oxford; the British Library; and the School of Oriental and African Studies Library, University of London.

FLAG is from the same stable as FLARE, (Foreign Law Research) - see the earlier blog entry about the FLARE Index to Treaties.
