French Supreme Court
Cornell Law Library and Cornell Law School have established a Center for Documentation on American Law at the French Supreme Court (Cour de Cassation). The Law Library has shipped 13,000 volumes to the French Court and offers electronic research assistance to the Court. The Center will be dedicated before an audience of the world's leading jurists at a groundbreaking international judicial conference set to take place in Paris on July 17, 2007. Attendees will include U.S. Chief Justice Roberts, Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, and Kennedy, as well as most Chief Justices of the European Union countries. Lord Phillips, Chief Justice of England and Wales, is chairing the conference.

International Court of Justice
International Labour Organization
Cornell Law Library helped create the first web site of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), after a visit at the ICJ in the Hague in the summer of 1996. Jay Greco, JD '98, spent a summer at the Court and provided advice. He then did the same thing for the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva, Switzerland. The then ILO webmaster in turn visited Cornell. Cornell Law Library subsequently created mirror sites for both the ICJ and the ILO, creating redundancy much needed at the time to support heavy web use of these sites.
Small Business Association
The Small Business Administration invited the Law Library to participate in a pilot project overseeing New York state information presented on the agency's new website. Businesslaw.gov, which made its formal debut on December 5, 2001, was designed to assist small businesses cope with the myriad of legal issues that flow from starting and running a business. BusinessLaw.gov received the E-Gov Pioneer Award at the June 2002 E-Gov conference in Washington D.C., attended by Jean Callihan on behalf of the Law Library.
