Printed Resources
The LawBod's collections of printed resources for individual African nations (other than South Africa) can be found, shelved alphabetically by the name of the country (among other countries), on the Lower Floor (near the Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer IT Room) of the LawBod.
Depth of coverage varies considerably: you may well discover that for some countries the collection has an historic rather than a current emphasis.
Each country's material follows the same arrangement - legislation, case law, journals, texts and monographs - in some cases hypothetically only as we do not necessarily have all forms of literature for all countries!
Printed works which deal with more than one jurisdiction (eg comparative studies) are in a separate section of the LawBod with shelf marks starting General. They are shelved on the main Reading Room Floor, in the Wing past the Photocopying Room.
When searching the catalogue you may also find that the two libraries below also have useful material
