Looking for answers to questions about foreign law?  Not sure where to start?  If you have questions like the following:

• Where can I find current law reports for Germany and Italy?
• Where can I find the law codes of Argentina or Brazil?
• Can I find older consolidations of the law of Nigeria as well as the current law?
• Which library holds a comprehensive collection of United Nations material?

Then try the new updated FLAG - Foreign Law Guide.  FLAG is a guide to collections of foreign and international law held in UK libraries.

Library Services' special collections have materials that are of particular interest for law:

• Cohn Collection
• FCO Historical Collection
• ISTD Collection
