Library of Congress Research Guides for Foreign Law

Today I learnt that the Library of Congress provides guides to conducting legal research for a selection of countries.

They're along the same lines as IALS's research guides by jurisdiction but they cover different countries. Today I needed to find out how to access Lebanese legislation, which IALS does not produce an online guide for. Each guide includes:
  • an introduction to the legal system
  • official sources of law
  • print resources
  • web resources
