I misread Herr Langenhan’s comment under my first Austrian entry. The Cornell law site I know is www.law.cornell.edu, which is a very useful site. (Although today it keeps blocking out a square of my screen where its menu goes). It has no hits for Austria.

However, Herr Langenhan actually mentioned www.lawschool.cornell.edu, which I didn’t know till then. It gives 23 hits for Austria, but not all of them are relevant – some only mention Austria but are related to Russia, for instance, and others are about LL.M.s.

The first is this where to start page. There is a research guide, with references to printed materials. In addition, Charlotte Bynum’s Foreign Law Guide leads to links to Cornell library. Although I found nothing very useful for Austria, there are some materials from the library that can actually be seen – it isn’t just a bibliography.

There is also a link to the Bundeskanzleramt site, which I quoted at some length in my first Austrian entry. There is also a link to the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in Russell Square in London. This had passed through my mind too. The material is just a detailed bibliography (one can be found for Germany too), but it is informative.

I have already mentioned the German Law Journal. Now Blawg.org cites a German-American Law Journal Blawg (link doesn’t seem to work). This has also been picked up by Denise Howell at Bag & Baggage, in an entry listing a number of new blogs.

I don’t know whether to believe this, so I’ve written to the German Law Journal to ask.

Witty opinion (or judgment, as we would say in England), from a U.S. district court in Texas. From the National Review Online. But it was recommended by a new weblog with a touch of irony, sophoristically speaking, (or actually The Sophorist) ‘observations from an ozarks attorney on life, law, and liberty’.

Here is a quote:

bq. The Court cannot even begin to comprehend why this case was selected for reference. It is almost as if Plaintiff’s counsel chose the opinion by throwing long range darts at the Federal Reporter (remarkably enough hitting a nonexistent volume!). And though the Court often gives great heed to dicta from courts as far flung as those of Manitoba, it finds this case unpersuasive.
