TradeLawGuide offers nine research tools that enable serious and methodical research of WTO law, an online Learning Centre (which provides videos and manuals on how to use each of the research tools), commentaries on recent WTO cases along with helpful papers (e.g., How to Research WTO Law, The Role of Jurisprudence in WTO law, and WTO Law in Investment Treaty Arbitration). The database is used by the WTO Secretariats and sets the standard for researching WTO law.
