Georgetown Law Library Links

I hadn't looked at the Georgetown Law Library site in quite a while. I just checked it out and found lots of pages well worth a look. Here are a few:

• Tutorials covering a range of basic legal research topics


• Legal research definitions


• Research guides for U.S., other country, and international jurisdictions


• Research guides by topic


• Databases, research guides, tutorials, and treatise finder resources for each topic

Compilations of U.S. Laws

If you're looking for compilations of U.S. laws, you can find two nice, linked lists at the Library of Congress's Web site. Check out:

• Compilations and Other Law-Related Congressional Committee Prints and
• Compilations in the Law Library Reading Room

You can also browse GPO's Congressional Committee Prints currently available in electronic format for the 110th Congress which (as of the time of this post) includes three law compilations. Last, but not least, you can search Congressional Committee Prints back to 1997 at GPO here.
