The Locating Sources tab has three sub-tabs on how to find Legal and Practice Forms, Law Review Articles, and Treatises. Use those sub-tabs to get further information on finding those types of sources.
Some of the most common types of resources that legal researchers are searching for are forms, law review articles, and treatises.
Forms obviously provide a starting point to drafting legal documents.
Law review articles provide well-researched, in-depth analysis of specific legal issues. The footnotes in law review articles are particularly useful for researchers seeking primary authority and additional secondary sources.
Treatises are comprehensive books on a single topic, written by an expert in the field. Treatises are very useful because of the explanations of the law along with references and citations to relevant primary authorities.
