"This monumental resource will be useful for scholarly researchers and practitioners in the area of public and international law. Academic libraries and corporate law libraries should consider adding it to the digital collections." - Shannon Graff Hysell, American Reference Books Annual
"The final component for public international law research is commentary. This component is the hardest to acquire electronically. Westlaw, LexisNexis, and HeinOnline offer databases of law review articles, but serious researchers will also demand treatises-classics of international law, and current monographs. The key building block here is the newly available database, Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law, from Oxford University Press. No PIL collection could attain respectability without this work." - Mary Rumsey, Foreign, Comparative & International Law Librarian, University of Minnesota Law Library
"MPEPIL is already a valuable research and reference tool. A subscription to this database should be considered by all academic law libraries." - Marcia Hoffman, Associate Director and International and Foreign Law Librarian, University of California, Berkeley School of Law
"Whether you need to understand an international legal concept or theory or have a specific question about the importance of a particular case or the context of an event, the Encyclopedia of Public International online will prove to be an invaluable first stop for your international law research" - Seattle University, Law Library Blog, August 2009
"One of the most consulted references for students working on international law research projects" - Stanford Law School, Law Library Blog

Review from the previous edition
'A monument of learning.'
Detlev Vagts, American Journal of International Law
'An instrument that any serious library, university, foreign affairs ministry, international organization or law firm with a meaningful activity in public international law and the willingness to embrace its historical dimension should have on its shelf.'
