An introduction to this project and would you like to contribute?

As many Italian lawyers know, having a knowledge of English is becoming essential to the practice of law in Italy. Indeed, in Milan it can be difficult to find a job as a lawyer unless you know English and/or other languages.

I recommend that you look at the list of links on the right, as you will already find some essential resources.

If you would like to become a contributor to this blog and you are an Italian or foreign lawyer working in Italy, or dealing with Italian legal issues, then email me at: lawblog at englishisin dot com. I would prefer articles in English, but I will also accept posts in Italian if I consider that they reflect the character of this site.

If you do write in English, I will correct any mistakes you may make, so you can improve your writing skills. If you want me to, that is.

Anyone can now leave comments on this blog, so please do.

CISG - Contracts for the International Sale of Goods Law - How to search for cases

The picture on the left shows you the screen you will see if you click on it.

To find Italian cases, just enter 'Italy' next to the word 'Term'. You can also change the 'Select Field to Display as Headline' to 'Jurisdiction'.

You do not need to worry about the 'Enter maximum number of hits to retrieve' field because there are only around 40 Italian cases at present.

Then click on 'Submit Query' and you will be presented with a list of Italian cases.

Look at the case abstract (case summary) to see whether the case deals with an area of law that interests you.

You will also find a link to the original text of the case in Italian. You can use both the English and Italian versions to help you develop a knowledge of commonly used legal expressions used in English.

This is a very valuable resource for those dealing with Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
