PIL.OT / System
Find. Verify. Publish.
PIL.OT monitors legal developments, scholarship, open calls and events in private international law. Before publication, it verifies the date and supporting source of every record.
01 / How it works
PIL.OT in three stages.
Selected stage / 01
Find material worth recording.
PIL.OT monitors official sources, court websites, academic indexes, calls and event calendars. A news item or feed entry is only a lead: PIL.OT opens the underlying text and isolates the material worth recording.
A record is not published until its source has been verified.
02 / Fields monitored
The four fields of private international law.
PIL.OT monitors conflict of laws, international civil procedure, nationality law and the law of foreign nationals within one system.
II
LEX FORIInternational civil procedure
Jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement, service, evidence and judicial cooperation.
III
LEX PATRIAENationality law
Acquisition and loss of nationality, multiple nationality and statelessness.
IV
STATUSLaw of foreign nationals
Entry, residence, work, protection, removal, rights and duties.
03 / Types of content
One system. Four types of record.
PIL.OT distinguishes material by what it is. A news link alone is not treated as a development; a record enters the system only when a verifiable source has been found.
Find.Verify.Publish with sources.
Legal development
New legislation, judgments and international instruments.
Scholarship
Articles, books, theses and new issue announcements.
Open call
Calls for papers, book chapters and conference submissions.
