Caribbean Court of Justice

Yasmin Morais, Library Resident here at Georgetown Law Library, has published a guide to the Caribbean Court of Justice.

In the guide, Yasmin explains that the CCJ is "a new court which was inaugurated on April 16, 2005 in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The court is expected to serve as a court of last resort for Caribbean states, eventually replacing the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the United Kingdom."

The guide includes sections on the court's history, current operations, justices and judgments.  It also includes a bibliography of resources about the court and the Caribbean judicial system.

News from the Other, Older Empire

This week brings out two new sources in my my favorite comparative law research area: Roman Law (ancient, that is), one new and one newly blogged-about. The new one is the Annotated Justinian Code web site, up and running at  which was announced to the law library community this week. It was created and edited by Timothy Kearley, Director of the Law Library & Centennial Distinguished Professor of Law, George W. Hopper Law Library, University of Wyoming. The newly-discovered (by the Yellow Show Civil Law Blog but already in our links in preparation for a civil law research guide, under construction) site is Roman Law  sponsored by the Université Pierre-Mendès-France Grenoble, in the original Latin, but also it contains translations of these resources in English, French, and Spanish.
