On EISIL

Last week was so stressful particularly because of our SLR deadline on Friday. However, this stress might have been doubled had I not learned about this great website (www.eisil.org). (Kudos to my OLA teammates for sharing this.) This site contains comprehensive and authenticated international law materials.

However, gathering research materials and writing the paper proper is only the first part. Making the footnotes and the bibliography is another. The standard is to use Prof. Feliciano's legal citation book. Since my paper used mostly international law materials, this proved to be a headache. This is what makes this website great (for me anyway). Not only did it contain the materials I needed, it also did most of my footnotes and bibliographies. A real time saver! (which, for me is the real essence of technology)
