Researching a Legal Topic

:

State Laws & Regulations

This guide highlights some of the legal resources available to the BC Community. Law School students may want to go directly to the Law Library's website.

State Laws & Regulations

Legal Information Institute
From Cornell Law School provides links to state codes, bills, and regulations, and laws by state.
National Survey of State Laws
State laws on many topics including business & consumer laws, education, employment, real estate, tax and more.
National Conference of State Legislatures
Surveys of state laws. Topics are limited and currency varies; best tactic is to search for topic keywords and the word "survey" in the main search bar. Be sure to check the date of the survey.

Nexis Uni
Nexis Uni includes thousands of U.S. and non-U.S. news sources; legal materials: case law, statutes and law reviews; and company/business information. Strength from 1990 to the present. Nexis Uni replaces Lexis-Nexis Academic.

State Laws and Regulations from Library of Congress
Guide to find law and regulations by state.
