Today, the international dimension of United States legal practice is emphasized in the curriculum as never before, and the School is engaged in an effort to internationalize the curriculum as a whole. The Library is a depository for the documents of the European Union. The secondary literature of international law is acquired very extensively. The Library subscribes to the titles indexed in the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals. Monographic literature on international law is acquired in all Western European, Slavic, and East Asian languages.
Special emphasis is given to international trade law, international tax law, and human rights.
Until recent years, the Library also collected heavily in the area of international relations. The Library no longer duplicates other libraries within the University in this area, except for basic periodicals and reference works. The Library's collections are augmented by access to the international law materials available in Lexis, Nexis , and Westlaw, and the databases of the European Union. Document delivery through RLG's Eureka system is available for materials indexed in the World Law Index and the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals. The current international law collection is house in the International Legal Studies division of the Library located in the Lewis International Law Center.
