It's a pity they don't have anything in Spanish, it looks like a useful resource.

It looks very useful, certainly to be included in my favourites even if I "do" Dutch law .
The committee certainly looks impressive, e.g. in the case of French law:
French Legal Materials — Committee of High Patronage
M. Pierre Mazeaud
President of the Conseil Constitutionnel
The Rt. Hon. the Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers
Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales
M. Renaud Denoix... See more It looks very useful, certainly to be included in my favourites even if I "do" Dutch law.

Thank you, Tim. I found it very useful, both for confirming terms and for translating others I might need in future.
Does anyone know if there's a Spanish equivalent anywhere?
Regards,
Jenny.

Tim, as far as the German is concerned the texts are excellent, although some are not 100% native English.
The site very recently moved from the Institute of Global Law at University College London.
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/laws/global_law/
It is therefore not a new resource, but maybe if some money is pumped in it will expand.
Regards
Margaret
