Monday, Oct. 21, 2024 |12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.

---ZOOM INFORMATION WILL BE EMAILED TO REGISTRANTS PRIOR TO CLASS START TIME---

Sometimes state or local government agencies make mistakes. In this class, learn about the process for challenging administrative decisions in superior court through what is called a “writ of mandate.” Writs are different from other kinds of civil lawsuits and the procedures and terminology can be complicated.

Although you can listen to the class from various kinds of devices, you will need video to view the speaker(s) and any presentation materials and the ability to type on your device and use Zoom to ask questions or use the chat features.

Los inquilinos del condado de Los Ángeles (si califican para una exención de tarifas y están dentro de la fecha límite de presentación) tendrán la opción de que sus documentos se presenten electrónicamente ante la corte. Todos los demás inquilinos tendrán que presentar los documentos que crea el Toolkit en persona, en el juzgado que figura en su citación y demanda.

Para registrarse: Registro en línea disponible en bit.ly/answerworkshop.  Las personas sin cita previa se atenderán por orden de llegada

LIVE ZOOM: Researching International Law Between Private Parties in Different Countries

Wednesday, September 25, 2024: 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m

Since there is no one definitive source of international law, traditionally, legal matters involving private parties who are residents of different countries have been governed mostly by the domestic law of their home countries, which can lead to complications when multiple court systems claim jurisdiction over the same claim. However, more recently, international bodies consisting of multiple countries (i.e. the United Nations, the Hague Conference, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, etc.) have made a concerted effort to create a more authoritative and uniform legal system to govern these matters, such as treaties and multinational conventions. This class will introduce researchers interested in learning about this kind of law, called private international law, to the sources that govern it, finding tools to locate these laws, and where to go for help, if needed.

Class covers:

  • Introduction to types of foreign and international law
  • Sources of primary international authority
  • International law finding tools
  • Tips for researching “private international law”, i.e. disputes between private parties who reside in different national jurisdictions
  • How to find legal help for international law matters

Although you can listen to the class from various kinds of devices, you will need video to view the speaker(s) and any presentation materials and the ability to type on your device and use Zoom to ask questions or use the chat features.

Presented by: Sarah Martin, Global Law & Language Access Librarian, LA Law Library (www.lalawlibrary.org)
