The Law Library of Congress blog, In Custodia Legis, is celebrating its seventh year in operation! During this time, we have published many research guides for both foreign and domestic law. I thought it would be useful to go back and revisit those guides in order to organize them into a basic index. Are there any additional research guides for specific areas of law or jurisdictions that you are interested in that we have not yet covered? Let us know in the comments.
