These are bibliographies compiled from the research guides created by the law librarians at the Charles B. Sears Law Library. They contain references to books, journals, websites, and many other methods of study available to legal researchers. 

Because the research guides were created over a period of 10 or so years, it is quite possible that some content is dated. This will depend upon the topic/resource. That being said, these are great resources to browse for ideas.  

As always, should any questions arise, please feel free to contact the law library.
