    LAW LIBRARY RESOURCES

    Study these pages very thoroughly. These materials make up 95% of law library resources. After studying this Glossary, you will have several exercises to provide you with thorough training in the most important research materials in the law library and online research sources.

    If you want a bit of extra work, after studying the glossary, try to find examples of each one in the law library. This would be kind of an extended scavenger hunt. But trust me, it would be worth the effort, both in the law library and online.

    It will benefit you in the long run!
