Law and Regulation


Law and Regulation

 

Tip: 
UCI's Law Librarians recommend that you start legal research by exploring secondary sources, i.e. ones that discuss and analyze a law, rather than primary sources, i.e. actual written laws.  Secondary sources will be much easier to understand. 

 

Common Secondary Sources

Legal Encyclopedias shorter broad coverage on many legal topics
Practice Guides and Treatises longer in-depth coverage on a single legal topic
Law Review Articles longer, scholarly (i.e., less 'practical') coverage on a single legal topic
