Foreign, comparative, and international law librarian

A foreign, comparative, and international law librarian, also known as FCIL librarian, is a law librarian specialist who works specifically with three primary varieties of extra-jurisdictional law. FCIL librarians work with foreign law, comparative law, and international law. Foreign laws are the laws of any international jurisdiction. Comparative laws are β€œthe scholarly study of the similarities and differences between the legal systems of different jurisdictions.”[1] International law is the law of international organizations, such as the United Nations, and the laws between nations, such as those established by treaty.
