Guides to Legal Resarch
Basics of Legal Research (
http://library.lawschool.cornell.edu/WhatWeDo/ResearchGuides/basics.cfm
Let’s run through the first part of this:
1. Primary Law—Comes from three sources:
a. Statutes (Constitution and laws by legislature)
b. Cases (judicial opinions)
c. Adjudications (administrative agency materials)
2. Secondary sources – they help determine what law applies. Good place to start.
a. Legal encyclopedias.
b. Treatises
c. Legal periodicals
d. Practice materials
How to Research a Legal Question (from the American Association of Law Librarians)
This is a publication available both on the web and as a PDF or Text version. Gives considerable guidance for finding legal information. Would probably take some study to become familiar with the basics.

Legislative process
How Laws are Made We already saw a summary at Ben’s Guide, Here is further information
àEnactment of a Law from the parliamentarian of the US Senate.
http://thomas.loc.gov/home/enactment/enactlaw.pdf Very detailed look from the Senate side. Here is a simple summary.
àHow a Senate bill becomes a law
http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/legprocessflowchart.pdf
Code and Regulations
àHouse of Representatives – official site of U.S. Code
http://uscode.house.gov/ “Search” the U.S. Code
-http://uscode.house.gov/search/criteria.shtml Suppose I want “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”, let’s try “gay military”
--http://uscode.house.gov/uscode-cgi/fastweb.exe?search Oops, over 7,000 entries. I’ll go back and use the Boolian “and”, I suspect it is defaulting to “or” back 1

----http://uscode.house.gov/search/criteria.shtml Let’s try “abortion” and “Search”
-----http://uscode.house.gov/uscode-cgi/fastweb.exe?search 61 results here, but notice for example, “partial-birth abortions”

----http://uscode.house.gov/search/criteria.shtml Try the quoted phrase “partial-birth abortion”
-----http://uscode.house.gov/uscode-cgi/fastweb.exe?search “18 USC Sec. 1531”
àCornell University Law School has a good site similar to the House site for US Code.
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/ Let’s try our gays in the military example, Title “10” Section “654” and “Go”
-http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode10/usc_sec_10_00000654----000-.html Probably a little easier to read. Notice we can now search with the title, for example “cohesion” and “Search Title 10” which was a significant reason for justifying this ruling.
--http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/search/index.html 1 result, click on “US Code: …”
---http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/search/display.html?terms=cohesion&url=/uscode/html/uscode10/usc_sec_10_00000654----000-.html Notice that we now have all the words “cohesion” highlighted. The Cornel site while having the same content as the House site does display better and it is easy to search for certain terms.
Code of Federal Regulations and the Federal Register
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/index.html “Code of Federal Regulations”
-http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html contains the “permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government” Let’s do a “Quick Search” on “bathtubs” and “submit”
--http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/multidb.cgi The title number is helpful for some subject access. For example, “46” relates to “shipping”, and if we click on the “text”
---http://frwebgate4.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate.cgi?WAISdocID=737130333702+1+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve it becomes obvious that this relates to the coast guard. Back 3
-http://www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/index.html Now let’s look at the Federal Register. Rules appear her before they get into the Code of Federal Regulations. “Federal Register”
--http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html Let’s try “”oil shale”” and “Submit” (include quotes around oil shale)
