In an effort to provide law school libraries with publications relevant to law studies on a regular basis, we propose the following MODEL LAW LIBRARY STANDING ORDER. This list was originally developed by certain law librarians and is now subscribed to by a good number of law school libraries.

The Model Law Library Standing Order consists of ("all future Council publications for Catalogue sections for Committee of Ministers, Parliamentary Assembly, Local and Regional Authorities (omiting the Studies and Text series), Human Rights, Law, Current Issues, General
+ non-catalogue publications in the area of human rights, law and legislation
+ European Court of Human Rights "Reports on Judgments and Decisions"."

Catalog analysis of what comprises a Model Law Standing Order

NOTE #1: Only titles published directly by the Council (excepting the above mentioned European Court of Human Rights) are supplied. Standing orders will also be accepted for categories, series or titles found elsewhere in the catalogue, e.g. Environment or Health.
