| Law Library: News & Events: Join us this Thursday, June 26 For "Two Sides of the Same Coin: The Evolution of Surrogacy Law in France and Colombia," at 2 PM EDT
|
| 06/24/2025
|
Join foreign law specialists Louis Gilbert and Stephania Alvarez this Thursday, June 26, at 2:00 PM EDT, as they examine the evolution of surrogacy laws in France and Colombia.
In this entry, Law Library's foreign law specialists will explore the contrasting surrogacy laws in France and Colombia. In France, surrogacy is prohibited; however, the law allows for the recognition of filiation for children born through surrogacy abroad. In contrast, Colombia has no explicit legislation on surrogacy, but the Constitutional Court has deemed it constitutional, permitting legal contracts with surrogates under specific rules. Additionally, Colombia provides mechanisms for automatically severing the surrogate mother's filiation. The discussion will focus on how these opposing legal frameworks interact, enabling European Union and French citizens to pursue surrogacy arrangements in certain countries, such as Colombia.

Notice to researchers planning to visit the Library June 25 - 28: The Library is preparing for the launch of its new online catalog platform on June 30. To implement this change, there will be a few interruptions in research services in the days prior. To help you plan your research visit, please be aware of the following updates.
- Requesting and Receiving Items: Starting Wednesday, June 25, users will not be able to request items through the online catalog at catalog.loc.gov. Researchers planning to visit the Library from June 25–28 should request items in advance in order for them to be available for use. No items can be checked out. Access to some collections materials will still be available for use during this time. Individual Reading Room staff can assist you in determining access options for specific collections. Connect with them through Ask a Librarian for more information.
- Library Cards: Starting Saturday, June 28 at noon, users will not be able to pre-register for a library card online. Those visiting the Library in person to register for a library card will be issued a temporary paper pass.
- All services are expected to return as normal on Monday, June 30.
For more information on the new catalog and to preview what’s new, visit the Catalog Welcome Page.
This change is part of the larger Library Collections Access Platform (LCAP) project, which replaces legacy systems toward the goal of enabling users to seamlessly discover and access all of the Library’s collections materials.
