FLAG: Foreign LAw Guide

Today I learnt that FLAG stands for Foreign LAw Guide.

According to the website FLAG is "a collaborative Internet gateway to the holdings of foreign, international and comparative law in UK universities and national libraries" and acts as "a gateway to foreign, international and comparative law collections held within UK university and national libraries".

You can search by country, international organisation, free text, type of legal literature, or location of contributing library. Your search results provide a description of the holdings, details of where it is held, and a link to the catalogue of library with the holdings.

FLAG won the Wallace Breem Memorial Award in 2002.
