Basic Legal Research: Secondary Sources- Treatises, Looseleafs, and Periodicals
This guide is intended to support your legal research instruction as a part of Legal Methods. It does not replace any instructions from your professor.
This lesson will teach students about practice centers, and describe their origins as print legal looseleaf services. Students will use a hypothetical to explore the Practice Centers available on Bloomberg Law BNA, and Thomson Reuters' RIA Checkpoint.
This lesson covers two of the most important external finding tools--periodicals indexes and library catalogs--that you can use to help find secondary sources relevant to your research.
