It is arranged alphabetically by jurisdictions, with annotated citations to constitutions, major codes, official codifications, sessions laws, court reporters and official gazettes. Each section contains an introduction which describes the particular country's legal system and mentions the major English-language books on the laws of that country. A subject breakdown of over 50 subject headings with bibliographic citation to primary sources and translations enables the user to ascertain what laws are operative in a particular subject area. The work is comprehensive in content and global in its geographic dimensions. Volume 1, published in December 1989, covers the Western Hemisphere. Volume 2, published in December 1990, covers Western and Eastern Europe and the European Communities. Volume 3, published in March 1993 covers Africa, Asia and Australia. Each volume will be updated annually.
