Start with a law review article

One of the best ways to begin legal research is to find a relevant law review article. Law review articles are written by professors, attorneys, and law school students. They are scholarly publications with many footnotes. By finding one good article, you will get a discussion and analysis of your topic and you will get references to pertinent cases, statutes and other law review articles. Click on the Law Review tab to get directions on how to find them.

If you have any questions or problems with your research, please contact me.
