The speakers will be Mary Rumsey , Foreign, International & Comparative Law Librarian at the University of Minnesota, and Anna Szot-Sacawa of the Bora Laskin Law Library at the University of Toronto:

"The first part of the webinar will describe the landscape of foreign/international legal information—what areas are easy to travel, what areas are trickier terrain, and what traps lie in wait for the unwary.  Mary will highlight such legal topics as contracts, family law, dispute resolution, and intellectual property."

"In the second part, Anna will deal with international law, including the hot area of EU legal research. The emphasis will be on free sources, Mary and Anna will also point out some key subscription-based and fee-based tools."

Each webinar costs only $45.20 for members and $67.80 for non-members. Recordings of each session will be available to registered participants. There is an online registration form on the CALL website.
