New Databases

The Hatfield Library has added two new databases:

1. ORIL--Oxford Reports on International Law

In addition to its expansive coverage and regular updates, Oxford Reports on International Law offers users enhanced case reports which contain high quality commentary and analysis. Case reports include headnotes, summary of case facts and judicial holdings, full text of the opinion of the courts, analytical commentary from scholarly experts, accurate translations of non-English judgments, and a list of cases and instruments cited.

2. Encyclopedia of Public International Law

Written by over 650 scholars and practitioners from around the world and edited by a team from the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law. This online resource includes more than 700 new topics, not covered in the previous print edition, and is updated quarterly.

Both are listed on the Databases A-Z list and are provided through Willamette's J.W. Long Law Library.
