CRIV CONNECTION

Author: Deanna Barmakian, Research Librarian, Harvard Law School Library 

Since the release of Oxford Law Pro in May 2025, a great deal of Oxford legal content has migrated into one of its five, separately priced, modules. The following is an attempt to summarize completed and upcoming Oxford product changes since CRIV’s update in July 2025. Note that Oxford content cutovers varied by subscription period, so some of these changes may have happened more recently at your library.

The five modules of Oxford Law Pro are:

1. Financial, Corporate, and Commercial Law;
2. Arbitration, Litigation, and Dispute Settlement;
3. Technology, Intellectual Property, and Media Law;
4. International Law and International Organizations; and
5. Competition Law.

Completed Migrations

Most book content from Oxford Scholarly Authorities on International Law and Oxford International Arbitration has migrated to the most closely aligned module of Oxford Law Pro.

Former products that have migrated into Oxford Law Pro include Oxford Investment Claims, Oxford Competition Law, and all subject families of the Oxford Legal Research Library.

Content That Has Not Changed

Oxford Public International Law is still the landing point for the Oxford Encyclopedia of EU Law, the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law, Oxford Historical Treaties, Oxford International Organizations, and Oxford Reports on International Law. Oxford Constitutional Law is still the landing point for the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law, U.S. Constitutional Law, and Oxford Constitutions of the World.

Future Content Migrations

There is no set timeline, but additional transitions will take place in the next few years.

The Oxford Public International Law and Oxford Constitutional Law sites will eventually sunset. Content on each will shift to various places. The Oxford Encyclopedia of EU Law and Oxford International Organizations will be available by subscription through Oxford Law Pro.

Oxford Reports on International Law will also transition onto Oxford Law Pro but will be split by case types into six separately priced subscriptions: International Criminal Law, International Human Rights Law, International Investment Claims, International Law in Domestic Courts, International Law in EU Courts, and International Trade Law Decisions. Subscribing to any of these will include a module for Courts of General Jurisdiction.

Some publications currently on Oxford Public International Law and Oxford Constitutional Law will not transition to the Oxford Law Pro platform. The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law (Subscribe to Open), Oxford Historical Treaties, and the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law will be standalone subscriptions. Oxford Constitutions of the World and U.S. Constitutional Law will move to Oxford Scholarship Online.
