- Description: Providing a basic introduction to international legal research for the nonspecialist, Hoffman and Berring’s International Legal Research in a Nutshell offers guidance through the unfamiliar pathways of research using international legal materials and demystifies the world of treaties. Because it is aimed at the nonspecialist, the text provides straightforward background information on the United Nations and the European Union and includes guidance using the documents and legal materials of these institutions. It includes extensive links to the rich world of Web resources, but it also describes paper research tools that remain important in this field.
