Alternative name: Collected Courses of the Hague Academy of International Law
The Hague Academy's Collected Courses on public and private international law.
Since the Academy's foundation in 1923, its teaching has centred on annual summer courses for post graduates - 3 weeks on private international law, followed by 3 weeks on public international law. There is no permanent teaching staff at the Academy, but the Curatorium invites leading practitioners, judges, diplomats and academics to give a series of lectures on a topic in which they have special knowledge or experience. These courses are published in due course - one summer's teaching usually producing in the region of five to seven volumes - usually in the language (either English or French) in which originally delivered. At present, there are in the region of 300 volumes in the series. The Bodleian Law Library has the printed series at Internat 300 A20.
