AIDSLEX

AIDSLEX (the AIDS and Law Exchange) is a new internet resource bringing together information and ideas on HIV/AIDS, the law and human rights. This free multi-lingual and global database and web portal, launched in 2009, includes a constantly growing collection of news and developments, law review articles, judicial decisions, legislation, policy documents and reports drawn from United States as well as foreign and international law. Of particular value to law students is the site's topically arranged e-Library, covering issues from health law policy to criminal law and employment discrimination. Most of the 2700 searchable documents are very recent and many are in PDF. AIDSLEX should be a helpful resource for a wide range of research topics.
