Law books needed

News In Brief

The International Law Book Facility (ILBF) has put out a call for good quality law books. The charity provides legal books to law schools, advice centres and other legal help organisations in common law jurisdictions in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. A student at a Ugandan university said of a recent shipment: “These new books will open doors of perception.” More information is available at www.ilbf.org.uk.

Donations are gratefully received, and should be sent to International Law Book Facility, DX 149121 Canary Wharf 3, 10 Upper Bank Street, London E14 5JJ.
