About EISIL
EISIL
has been developed, with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, by
the American Society of International Law (ASIL), a scholarly association that
has been a leader in the analysis, dissemination and development of international
law since 1906.
ASIL’s
goal is to ensure, through EISIL, that web searchers can easily locate the highest
quality primary materials, authoritative web sites and helpful research guides
to international law on the Internet. To this end, EISIL has been designed as
an open database of authenticated primary and other materials across the breadth
of international law, which until now have been scattered in libraries, archives
and specialized web sites.
Users
can connect directly to the web resource that interests them by clicking on
its title, but will also find valuable added information through a “More Information”
button on each record. Legal
citations, entry into force and signature dates, amendments and brief descriptions
are among the specialized data made available by EISIL’s content providers. The content in EISIL is checked
on a regular basis and new content is continually added.
EISIL offers the international law expert the depth of resources for sophisticated legal research. At the same time, EISIL can provide the novice researcher with the information needed to undertake a successful search. The comprehensive scope of EISIL enhances its potential as a research and teaching tool.
For
information on how to use EISIL, try the “Help” page.
A one-page printable hand-out on using EISIL is available in PDF format for use in classroom and for other purposes.
A ready-made PowerPoint presentation on how to use EISIL for international legal research is now available for general use. It contains slides and a full script for presenters. An introduction to
Using EISIL to Find and Understand International Law on the Web is also available. Please feel free to download these materials for classes, brown bag lunches, CLE sessions or personal use.
