Rule of Law Online
Rule of Law Online is an online bibliographic database of materials relating to the rule of law generally and in Asia particularly.
It is offered to the public as a free service to assist students, scholars, practitioners and the interested public, including the media, governments and non-government organisations.
Content of Database
Rule of Law Online is a collection of English language materials relating to the rule of law available throughout the world and includes books, chapters in books, journal articles and theses. It does not include newspapers, magazines or unpublished articles.
Searching the Database
The database is organised according to countries in Asia and a selection of basic subject areas, such as post-conflict reconstruction, court reform, court independence, and law and development.
The database can be searched for any word or a more specific advanced search can be conducted.
Locating Material
This database does not provide users with the full-text or abstract of articles. Full-text articles are often available online through organisation websites. However, links to some online full-text resources or library catalogue of the University of Melbourne are provided.
If articles do not have a location listed, they are usually not available at the University of Melbourne libraries. If this is the case, they might be available via inter-library loan.
