Law firm offers online privacy library.

Researchers, lawyers, academicians, and those just curious now have an easy-to-use online resource for finding privacy laws and information for countries around the world.

Law firm Morrison & Foerster recently announced the launch of its free Privacy Library, available at www.mofoprivacy.com. The online resource provides links to privacy laws, regulations, reports, multilateral agreements, and government authorities for more than 90 countries around the world, from Albania to Zimbabwe, and from multilateral organizations, including the European Union and the United Nations.

According to the firm, its Privacy Library represents the most comprehensive collection of privacy laws and regulations ever assembled, the result of years of research and experience working with clients around the world.

"Morrison & Foerster has more than 60 attorneys around the world addressing privacy issues, several of whom were instrumental in the drafting of key pieces of legislation in the field," said Miriam Wugmeister, head of the privacy practice at Morrison & Foerster, in a release. "We realized that given the depth of our global practice, we had assembled a vast resource of privacy materials, and it seemed a natural progression to make this available to our clients and friends via our website."

Morrison & Foerster has more than 1,000 lawyers in 18 offices around the world and offers comprehensive, global legal services in business and litigation.
