Legal Research

Decoding the law through legal research can seem a daunting task. The field of law has numerous primary and secondary sources, featuring a specialized system of citation. Despite the complexity of the law, or perhaps because of it, sources of law are some of the most well-organized and well-categorized research sources.

This Guide is intended to assist you in doing legal research and finding sources of law. It is not intended to, and does not provide, legal advice. An attorney may still be required to help you find, understand, and act on legal information.
