Basics of Legal Research, Cornell University Law Library

http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/library/whatwedo/researchguides/basics.cfm

If you are not familiar with the Cornell Law Library and the Cornell Legal Information Institute, you are missing a fantastic, free legal research honey pot.  This link will take you to Cornell’s basic legal research guide. If you know nothing about legal research, this is a great introduction. If your legal research is rusty, this is an excellent refresher.

But we are just getting started. The Legal Information Institute (LLI) (http://www.law.cornell.edu/) is one of the top online law libraries – and it’s free. Even though it’s free, I encourage you to make a donation. To understand why, please go to http://www.law.cornell.edu/lii/about-lii. There is no question that you definitely get a big bang for your buck. -CCE

Bluebook Guide, Georgetown Law Library

http://perma.cc/8TZR-WN43

This guide was designed for law students in the Georgetown University Law Center. It covers the Bluebook’s organization and how to cite to the most common legal citations. It is not as thorough and complete as Peter Martin’s Cornell Legal Information Institute’s resource at: https://researchingparalegal.com/2013/10/31/peter-martins-introduction-to-basic-legal-citation-an-alwd-and-bluebook-cheat-sheet/.

This guide does not explain how to use certain types of lesser used legal sources. But, if you want a resource for case law, statutes, and other basic legal resources, this will work. -CCE
