The International Association of Law Libraries' 2008 Website Award Competition is now open. This is an opportunity to nominate your favourite legal information website. The winner will be announced at the 27th Annual Course in International Law Librarianship in Puerto Rico, 30th November to 3rd December 2008, and will be able to display the coveted "IALL 2008 Website Award".

With this Award, the Association seeks to recognise and promote free legal information websites that are authoritative, comprehensive, up-to-date, useful, and user-friendly. The selection panel will make its decision based on these criteria. The websites nominated may be those designed specifically for researchers, information professionals or librarians, in a national or international context. Websites that have a connection to the members of the selection panel cannot be nominated. The Association also wishes to emphasise that selection is not restricted to English language websites; sites in all languages are welcome.

The selection panel for the 2008 Award is Ligita Gjortlere (Riga Graduate School of Law), Halvor Kongshavn (Bergen University), Xinh Luu (University of Virginia) and Mirela Roznovschi (New York University).
