In past years, this blog has mentioned Global Legal Monitor, an online publication from the Law Library of Congress. As In Custodia Legis explains, many of these stories will not reach most American newspapers or television. You can search Global Legal Monitor (by country, topic, date, etc.), you can read the monthly issues (archived here), or you can get it delivered to your inbox.
