Lawyers engaged in European/US transborder transactions need to know how to find, understand, and compare applicable foreign and international laws. Breaking the oceanic divide, this book is the first legal research guide to consider internationalization and globalization in both the new law school curriculums and the changing practice of law. The book is a significant expansion and revision of the second edition of Legal Research Methods in the US and Europe. With the inclusion of material on China, Russia, and England - and on researching foreign law in general - the book now reflects a broader scope. Regarding US legal research, this edition explains the impacts and effects of major changes and developments that have occurred very recently, including the introduction of Bloomberg Law, WestlawNext, and the revolutionary Law.gov movement.

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. This work digs deeply into EU legal research. I highly recommend this title to any professor or student of foreign and international legal research, E.U. and for any law library collection.
Lee F. Peoples, Professor of Law Library Science & Associate Director of Oklahoma City University Law Library

The internationalization of legal matters increases the need for lawyers to be able to orientate themselves with foreign legal systems. This useful book contributes to help lawyers in doing that. The authors have a good understanding of the different legal cultures. The book is well-written and instructive. It can be recommended to anyone who has a need to be instructed in foreign legal systems.
Peter Blume, dr. juris, Professor at University of Copenhagen

This book will enable law students and lawyers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean to speak each other's legal research language, a good first step for successful international collaboration and understanding.
