American Jurisprudence, 2d (Am. Jur. 2d)

The national legal encyclopedia by Lawyer's Cooperative Publishing Company. Since it is published by Lawyer’s Coop., it is part of the Total Client Service Library.

Each topic is commented upon, and within the commentary, small raised numbers appear, referring to footnotes. The footnotes, in turn, refer to other forms of authority, usually cases and statutes. The primary purpose of Am. Jur. 2d is to lead to primary authority. Am. Jur. 2d is secondary authority.
