Through the Library |
You can also find legislation in the pay-to-view databases, which members of the UOC community can consult through the Library. |
|||
Besides legislation, in these databases you will also find jurisprudence rulings, official forms, agreements documents and even doctrine (texts by experts commenting on legal texts), the literature that has been written on them and current news. |
|||
The following are the added-value services that they offer. |
|||
1) One of the most widely-known Spanish databases is Aranzadi distributed by Westlaw.es. This enables you to find current or revoked legal provisions, jurisprudence, collective agreements, draft bills, doctrine and press notices at autonomous, state and European level. We should highlight the Practicum section, where you can consult notes on all the legislation and jurisprudence relating to employment (company), taxation, the public administration and Catalan urban planning. |
|||
|
|||
2) Another database that also includes autonomous, Spanish and European legislation and jurisprudence is Consultor jurídico. One of its particularities is that you can search directly for legislation, jurisprudence and forms jointly about a specific area: civil, criminal, employment, company, military, administrative and constitutional. Here you can find collective agreements, subsidies and even a tool for calculating interest and compensation. |

3) In La Ley, as in the previous cases, you can find legislation, jurisprudence, agreements and forms, as well as provisions of the Directorate General for Taxation, the Directorate General for Records and Notaries Public, and doctrine. It includes Spanish legal texts since 1829 and international texts. To run a search, you have to take into account the terms that you are searching for. We should also stress that the La Ley Codes section enables you to find legal texts on the basis of a themed tree. |

4) The Tirant on line database includes legislation, jurisprudence and forms at international, European, state and autonomous level. You can also find both written doctrine (Library section) and multimedia doctrine. It is outstanding due to the variety of options for finding information: browsing by subject area or field of law, by voices, or subareas, in both list and diagram form. You can also find answers to queries made by users of the database on legal matters (Queries section). Finally, we should highlight the possibility of viewing the employment and tax calendars from the home page. |
|||
5) Vlex is a database that includes collective agreements, jurisprudence (autonomous, state and European), doctrine, news from Spanish newspapers and standard contracts and forms. We should highlight the fact that it enables searches by geographical area in which the legislation or jurisprudence is applied. It also offers the possibility of browsing among the results and viewing the jurisprudence rulings arranged by date. |
|||
|
|||
6) To find any legislation or jurisprudence text at international level, you can consult the Westlaw international database, especially if you're looking for legal and juridical texts from the USA and Commonwealth countries. It includes economic and financial information from any country (legislative journals, treaties, etc.) and a compilation of news from the Reuters agency. We should stress that English has to be used in searches and you should first choose the package or sphere in which to run the search. |
