We are pleased to introduce our latest resources page, the China (People’s Republic of China) Law Resources.

Created by the Boley Law Library’s Foreign & International Law Librarian Wendy Hitchcock, China Law Resources provides quick access to a number of invaluable sources for your research:

• Overviews of Chinese Law
• Research Guides
• Subscription Databases

Included are rich explanations of the content available along with research tips to help you get started with each resource.

For assistance with these or our other resources please be sure to contact Wendy Hitchcock at (503) 768-6763, or any of our reference librarians at (503) 768-6688 or lawlib@lclark.edu.

The Boley Law Library, very much like the rest of Lewis & Clark Law School, will be closed for the Labor Day holiday on September 7, 2008.

Any reserve items may be checked out before the library closes on Sunday, August 6 and returned the morning of Tuesday, September 8.

As always, you can find all of the Law Library hours here.

Have a great Labor Day!
