Juris International
Description
A database on international trade law aimed at lawyers and legal counsel in developing and transition economies
Juris International is a multilingual collection (English, Spanish, and French) of legal information on international trade. Juris International aims to facilitate and reduce the work involved in research for business lawyers, advisers and in-house counsel, and state organizations in developing and transition economies, by providing access to texts which have often been difficult to obtain. Its objective is to gather a large quantity of basic information at one site (favoring complete legal texts), without the need to send for the information, and consequently without excessive communication costs for users who do not benefit from an efficient and cheap telecommunications network.
A Partnership
Juris International is the result of a partnership between the International Trade Centre UNCTAD/WTO -" ITC " ( project leader : Jean-François Bourque, Senior Adviser) , LexUM of the Center for Research in Public Law at the University of Montreal, Canada (project leader: Professor Daniel Poulin) and Juripole from the University of Nancy, France (project leader : Professor François Jacquot)The partnership became official in November 1998 during the international conference " Partners for development " held in Lyon under the auspices of the United Nations. The arrangement of a partnership between international organizations and institutions from civil society seemed a pratical and viable means to attain the objectives of Juris International.
In order for the shared work to be effective, the partners developed an internal tool for the management of information from a distance, thus permitting each partner to work simultaneously at enriching the collection and to receive the contributions of multiple collaborators.
