Library of Congress: Global Legal Monitor

By immigrationprof

Today we continue our discovery of amazing resources for immprof hosted by the Library of Congress. Check out the LOC Global Legal Monitor–an online publication “covering legal news and developments worldwide. It is updated frequently and draws on information from official national legal publications and reliable press sources.”

Here’s how to access it.

Go to law.gov. Click on “Collections” (circled in red below).

On the left menu you can browse by topics and by jurisdiction (see red circle below).

If you click Browse All Topics you’ll find things like:

  • Asylum
  • Border Security
  • Citizenship and Nationality
  • Immigration

If you click Brose All Jurisdictions, you’ll find a list of countries. You can search for a country of interest and see what they have. For example, I clicked on Mexico and found this interesting report among the 155 they have on hand: Mexico: Migration Law Amendment Requires Placing Undocumented Children in Shelters, Not Detention Centers. 

Happy researching y’all.
