INTRODUCTION

The first part of this guide lists general works of comparative civil procedure, basic books about the civil and common law systems, encyclopedias and treatises covering several jurisdictions. The remainder of the guide is arranged by country. Depending upon the country, the sources listed may be in English or in the vernacular, or both in some cases. Under "Primary Sources" are listed codes of civil procedure and civil procedure statutes that the Law Library owns and, for civil law jurisdictions, basic treatises and commentaries. Under "Secondary Sources" are listed monographs, treatises and commentaries (for common law jurisdictions) which may also contain the text of civil procedure code sections and statutes, and collected jurisprudence, as well as a few journals. The call number of books, services, and journals appears at the end of each entry. However, call numbers may change during the year, as the library is in the process of adopting a new classification system. Items without a call number are still on order at the time of this compilation. Some of the books are located at the Circulation Desk (i.e., Course Reserve) or on Reserve (e.g., the latest edition of foreign codes). All others are generally in the open stacks. For specific locations please check JULIUS, the online catalog and ask for reference help, as the information in the catalog might be out of date.

Relevant files in WESTLAW and LEXIS-NEXIS are also listed. Please refer to the online directories for each service to determine the exact scope and dates covered by these databases. For WESTLAW, the database identifier is given. For LEXIS-NEXIS, the Library name is given, followed by the File Name, as in this example: INTLAW--AUSLAW. (For LEXIS-NEXIS, where multiple Libraries--Files are given, they all contain the same database.)

For Internet sources of foreign law, please consult the Law Library Home Page and follow this path: Legal Resources--Foreign and International Law--Foreign Materials/Collections or Foreign Materials/By Jurisdiction.

There is also a special Internet page constructed by Mirela Roznovschi that provides links to Civil Codes, Civil Procedure and Jurisprudence (http://www.law.nyu.edu/library/foreign_intl/index.html). The outline of this site is attached at the end of the guide. In addition, whenever a paper source has an electronic equivalent, the hot link has been added for instant access.

Codes, commentaries, and basic treatises for jurisdictions using other than English as their official language are most of the time in the vernacular language of the country.

News reports are an excellent source of information about recent developments in the law in other countries. Although they do not generally contain the text of a new law, they may note its adoption, summarize it, and provide a citation to a source where you can read the full text. To locate news reports and other current information, consult:

1. WESTLAW. To find the database identifiers for news wires from around the world, follow this path in the WESTLAW Main Directory: --Newspapers, Magazines, and News Services --News wires and News Services –International and Foreign News Services.

2. LEXIS-NEXIS. Choose an appropriate file from the NEWS or WORLD library.

3. To find citations to articles in law journals/reviews, go to the JULIUS main menu and connect to these two databases: Index to Legal Periodicals and Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals.

3. NATIONAL CODES, STATUTES, COURT RULES, AND COMMENTARIES

As Civil Procedure has been traditionally considered as being governed by lex fori (the law of the state where the proceedings take place), primary and secondary sources for this subject should be researched jurisdiction by jurisdiction. The comparative dimension is implicit in this approach. The best source for a substantial outline of more than twenty jurisdictions is:

International Encyclopaedia of Laws. Civil Procedure. Ed. by Paul Lemmens. Deventer: Kluwer Law and Taxation, 1994-. Loose-leaf. 4 volumes.
So far the following countries are covered: Australia, Austria, Canada, P.R. of China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Lithuania, Morocco, Peru, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, U.S.A., and Venezuela.
For each country the authors use a slightly similar structure: delimitation of the subject mater, sources of civil procedure law, judicial organization, the legal profession, the courts, jurisdiction, proceedings, evidence, enforcement of judgments, and arbitration. For each monographic study there is a bibliography and an index. Updating is done when needed (i.e., when critical changes occur).
K2201.4.C58x

Another valuable source, especially from the bibliographic viewpoint, is: Foreign Law: current sources of codes and basic legislation in jurisdictions of the world. Edited by Tom Reynolds and Arthuro Flores. Loose-leaf. Littleton, Colo.: Rothman, 1989-.
 

The service is updated when needed and covers the following regions and jurisdictions: Andean Community, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Caribbean, Cayman Island, Central America, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Latin America, Mexico, Montserrat, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Cristopher-Nevis (St. Kitts), St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Surinam, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, Uruguay, and Venezuela (in volume I). Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Bulgaria, Channel Islands, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, European Union, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, Yugoslavia (in volumes II, II-A, and II-B). Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, People’s Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somali Republic, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe (in volume III). Afghanistan,, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, China People’s Republic, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Republic of (South Korea), Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Oman, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Syria, Taiwan, Thailand, Tuvalu, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, Vietnam (in volume II-A).
The service can be used for updating information, since there is also an online version. See the Foreign Law Guide : Current Sources of Codes & Basic Legislation In Jurisdictions of the World.
Civil Procedure topics are covered for each country under the following headings: Civil Procedure, Administration of Justice, Evidence, and Conflict of Laws. The authors are providing citation to codes, official gazettes, statutory instruments, and regulatory material, in the vernacular and, when available, in English or French translations.
