INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW SITES
INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW Treaties, etc. (from Troms?, Norway)
This superb site created by Ralph Amissah and hosted by the University of Troms?, in Norway, is one of the very finest law Web sites in the world. It provides an extensive list of international trade conventions and related instruments, including rules and model Laws, and often provides hypertext access to the full texts. This basic list is arranged by decades, but the component lists, arranged by topic, may often be more useful, and may be accessed directly ..." 06/1997 (till 02/2001)

"Lex Mercatoria (International Trade/Commercial Law Monitor). If I only had one place to go for access to the full text of major trade related agreements, this would be it. This web site also has many international agreements and documents in areas related to trade (contracts, sales, arbitration, etc.). The site is well organized and offers a subject index, a search mechanism, and links to other sites."

"The Troms? database is the first WWW site dedicated to a given area of law on the Internet: international trade law and its many ramifications. Edited by Ralph Amissah, it is an important site for international trade law materials and links to related materials on the "net". Like the UNCITRAL database, it is an especially good site to "bookmark": exploration of the by-ways opened up by its links opens up much relevant information related to contracts governed by the CISG." 02/1997

Excite Review, International Trade Law

Review: This wonderfully full site explores issues of international trade law, complete with full-text treaties, conventions and laws (including GATT). Compiled by Ralph Amissah and hosted by the University of Troms?, Norway.

Review: Creating this site certainly must've been a project. Seems like there's nothing this group operating out of the Law Faculty of the University of Troms?, in Norway, missed in this huge and well-organized collection of international trade law information. Read or search treaties, conventions, laws, rules, country profiles, writings, and more."

Review: Search by company, by industry or by concept on this very impressive site that also gives links to other related sites, both legal and otherwise.
