| | Legal research - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Concepts such as law, legal authority and jurisdiction are taught to law students during their first year in Law School. |  | | Legal researchers may also need the briefs and other background materials connected with a case, which are included in docket records. |  | | In addition to the text of the current law itself, legal researchers may also have to research the background documents connected with the statute, which is known as Legislative history. |

| | Your Public Law Library |
 | | Legal research guides are useful for helping the beginning researcher decide what court, government agency, or jurisdiction has the power to hear and decide his or her legal problem. |  | | When a person is new to legal terms and the types of books and materials in a law library, the research process may seem almost too difficult. |  | | Is the legal problem presented one that federal, state, or local law governs (or perhaps a combination of any or all of those laws)? |

| | Legal research - Wex |
 | | The resources available to find legal authority are vast and complicated leading many law schools to require students to take a class in legal research. |  | | The citations to other authority and annotations provided in legal encyclopedias, treatises, American Law Reports, law reviews, and legal periodicals are an important element of their value in the research process. |  | | The purpose of legal research is to find "authority" that will aid in finding a solution to a legal problem. |

| | Statutes & Cases - Learn About Legal Research |
 | | Most legal research involves state statutes rather than federal statutes because states have the power to make the law in many areas, such as child custody, divorce, landlord-tenant, small business, personal injury and wills and trusts. |  | | Title is also used to denote a group of statutes within a larger set of statutes, as in Title IX of the Civil Rights Act (which itself is located in Title 42 of the U.S. Code). |  | | Disclaimer -- Legal Information Is Not Legal Advice |

| | Legal Research and Citation Style in USA |
 | | Annotations in ALR are not commonly cited, except as authority for a statement of a legal rule in the majority of jurisdictions. |  | | The Restatements are written by a large committee of legal scholars, eminent litigators, and judges. |  | | Surely, this is not a significant difference that affects one's ability to synthesize legal principles from many cases, or to suggest better law. |
