This European Commission website aims to provide an overview of the civil and commercial law of both the European Union and its member states, for the benefit of those involved in transnational litigation, including ordinary citizens and judges.
The European Legal Studies Center (ELSC) is based at Columbia Law School in the United States. It conducts teaching and research in the fields of European, international and comparative law. Its website provides details of courses and of clerkships and internships available at European institutions. There is also information about the Center's events.
The CODICES database was created by the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission). It provides key judgments from the constitutional courts of European countries, the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. There is background information on each constitutional court, with details of powers, composition and organisation, as well as basic texts relating to the court. The constitutions of all member states of the Council of Europe and national laws relating to constitutional courts are also given.
The EUREL website compiles information about the social and legal status of religions in more than 30 European countries, plus Canada.
