The Yale Law Library has obtained a trial subscription for the next month or so to the Trade Law Guide.  This database is a new WTO research product.  It is the only database on WTO law that enables the user to "note up" WTO law.  "Noting up" refers to examining the judicial treatment of legislation or a case and is a crucial step in legal research.

 This trial subscription is available to all member of the Yale community when connected to the Yale network (IP access).

 The Law Library appreciates any feedback regarding this database.  Please direct your comment to teresa.miguel@yale.edu.

 Enjoy!

The newly released 2010 World Trade Report focuses on trade in natural resources, such as fuels, forestry, mining and fisheries. The entire report, which can be downloaded from the official WTO website, examines the characteristics of trade in natural resources and the policy choices available to governments.  It also discusses how trade in the sector fits within the legal framework of the WTO and other international agreements that regulate trade in natural resources.

To search for general treatises on WTO in the law library collection, search in Morris under subject headings “World Trade Organization”, “Foreign Trade Regulations”, and "International Trade".  Electronic resources subscribed by the law library include WorldTradeLaw.net and our BNA subscription, which provides access to International Trade Daily, International Trade Reporter, and WTO Reporter.
