ABSTRACT
Law schools should offer classes in international and foreign legal research (IFLR) because the increasing globalization of law practice requires new skills of lawyers. Moreover, internationalized law school programs and curricula, including human rights clinics, exchange programs, and transnational law courses, require complementary research skills. Currently, few schools offer a stand-alone IFLR class. This article describes an ideal IFLR class, which would cover public and private international law, foreign law, and selected topics, and provide students with basic IFLR skills. The author notes that librarians are best suited to teach such a class because of their extensive knowledge of IFLR resources and usage.
