The Bulletin of International Legal Developments

The Bulletin of International Legal Developments (BILD) has been discontinued as of July 2009. The BILD archive will still be available to members.

The Bulletin of International Legal Developments (BILD) provides subscribers worldwide with news of developments in international and comparative law, an essential feature of modern legal life. This fortnightly news service covers developments in the fields of public international law, national laws, conflict of laws, European law and human rights.

It complements the International and Comparative Law Quarterly (ICLQ), the Institute's flagship journal, in providing initial coverage of many topics that will later be covered by articles in the ICLQ-or indeed in the Institute's e vents programme.

The BILD covers recent court decisions, new legislation, law reform proposals, treaties and other international legal instruments. News items are gathered by the Institute's staff and by a network of national correspondents. Full references to the source material are provided where appropriate to facilitate further research.

Readers of the BILD are able to keep up to date with the most important legal developments around the world in just a few minutes each fortnight. An annual index provides a key to previous issues.
