**Reference Tools**
Foreign Law: Current Sources of Codes and Legislation
-
http://www.foreignlawguide.com
- Note: This is *not* a free resource. However,
because so many people in the forced migration field
are interested in national legislation, I thought
I would mention it. The guide "contains information
on nearly 200 jurisdictions from major nations to
crown colonies, semi-independent states and
supra-national regional organizations. The work is
comprehensive in content and global in scope and
contains exhaustive links within the work and to many
URLs on the world level." You can view a sample
jurisdiction at

Unfortunately, no discounts are offered.
