The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) is primarily concerned with helping establish a legal framework for strengthening civil society across the globe. Their work includes providing technical assistance to over 90 countries and partnerships with civil society representatives and government officials. First-time visitors may want to begin by reading some of their news briefs and press releases, which examine recent legislation and policy developments that bear directly on the area of civil society. The "Tools and Publications" area will be quite helpful to practitioners in this area as it includes assessment tools (such as a bibliography on the nonprofit sector and civil society) and a number of guidelines for laws affecting civic organizations. Visitors will also want to peruse the archives and current edition of the ICNL's own journal, The International Journal for Not-For-Profit Law. This will be added to Legal Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide. [From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2005. http://scout.wisc.edu/]
