i.lex: The Legal Research System for International Law in U.S. Courts

i.lex: The Legal Research System for International Law
in U.S. Courts, is an online database of select U.S. court cases
and related materials involving international law. An
initiative of the American Society of International Law,
the database is a resource for identifying and understanding
how international law is interpreted and applied by U.S.
courts at both the federal and state level.

Users may browse and search the i.lex database for cases
involving international law in the follow ways: 1) by using one
of the drop down menus that groups content by international
treaty, topic area, US state and federal jurisdiction, and
international tribunal; 2) by keyword search using the search bar;
3) and by clicking on the search terms provided in the i.lex tag cloud.
