World Trials Collection

I’m reluctant to introduce commercial content to SLAW; however, I think some kudos should go to Heinonline for some of the excellent work they are doing in building theme related collections of digital documents from disparate library holdings. I know from previous postings on SLAW that some Toronto law firms are considering subscribing to Hein. One of their new releases is the World Trials Collectiosn which they describe in a brief summary as collections of famous trials from libraries around the world, and from antiquarian book dealers, as well as books that analyze and debate famous trials, as well as biographies of some of the greatest trial lawyers in history. It looks very anglo-american, but has some interesting material that is often hard to find outside of major research libraries. They don’t yet have any descriptive content on their website; they list of what the collection includes, which I received from a marketing email is below. As yet, I can’t find any internet content from Google like digital projects that build specific collections this way.
