Charles International Law Research Library

One of Charles International Law's missions is to make the law more accessible to everyone. To that end, we've published some of our multimedia research guides, which include practical advice and background information on the legal topics within our expertise. Please enjoy these free resources, and check back frequently as these guides are living materials we revise and update occasionally.
If you are struggling with a question that these guides do not effectively answer, please consider one of the following:
Schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys here. There is a fee so that we limit our time to serious inquiries. However, consistent with our mission to educate the public, the cost is well below the industry average.
Request that we publish a guide on your topic. Again, we hope to make these resources as helpful for as many people as possible. We are happy to consider your ideas for new topics within our expertise. Please submit your requests here.
Tips and Warnings for Using These Guides:
Each guide should contain a date of information (“DOI”) near the top of the page. International law, particularly U.S. law related to foreign affairs and immigration, is subject to rapid changes based on current events. Please do not rely on information that might be stale based on the DOI. If you think one of our guides needs an update due to current events, please let us know by submitting a research request here.
We are not perfect. If you think our materials contain an error, please let us know here.
Our guides contain many links to outside materials we find helpful. However, we cannot guarantee the quality or completeness of anyone else’s research.
If there is a topic listed in the index but no hyperlink, we have recognized the need for a guide on that topic but have yet to build a page for it. Again, please feel free to suggest new topics here or prompt us to create a page for a topic that concerns you.
