Reviews and Awards
Review from previous edition I was very impressed by MPEPIL. I will certainly refer my students - Professor Brice Dickson, Professor of International and Comparative Law and Director of the Human Rights Centre, School of Law, University of Belfast
The final component for public international law research is commentary. This component is the hardest to acquire electronically. Westlaw, LexisNexis, and HeinOnline offer databases of law review articles, but serious researchers will also demand treatises-classics of international law, and current monographs. The key building block here is the newly available database, Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law, from Oxford University Press. No PIL collection could attain respectability without this work. - Mary Rumsey, Foreign, Comparative & International Law Librarian, University of Minnesota Law Library
MPEPIL is already a valuable research and reference tool. A subscription to this database should be considered by all academic law libraries. - Marcia Hoffman, Associate Director and International and Foreign Law Librarian, University of California, Berkeley School of Law
The resource has a wide coverage, including economic, humanitarian, environmental, and other aspects of international law, it will be a valuable addition to the existing databases and could be used across the law school - University of Liverpool E-Resources News and Trials
Whether you need to understand an international legal concept or theory or have a specific question about the importance of a particular case or the context of an event, the Encyclopedia of Public International Law online will prove to be an invaluable first stop for your international law research. - Seattle University Law Library Blog
MPEPIL online edition appears as a very useful tool for users wishing to gain general knowledge on a specific topic or as a starting point for researching the doctrine and case law on a specific issue - Florian Dupuy, ASA Bulletin
It is a fantastic resource. - Jan Glazewski, Professor in the Institute of Marine & Environmental Law, University of Cape Town
This monumental resource will be useful for scholarly researchers and practitioners in the area of public and international law. Academic libraries and corporate law libraries should consider adding it to their digital collections - Shannon Graff Hysell, American Reference Books Annual
