Legal Research Guides

The Law Library research guides provide in depth discussion and/or extensive lists of research materials for a variety of jurisdictions and topics. BU locations are included for print sources. Electronic databases listed within the guides are available to BULaw students, faculty, and staff. Other users should consult the Law Electronic Resources A-Z list for access restrictions to the databases listed in the guides.

The Law Research Guides A-Z listing includes additional basic research guides and links to individual sections of the topical and jurisdictional guides.

All research guides include the name of the reference librarian who currently maintains the page. Please see Get Research Help for contact information for the reference librarians or use the Contact Us link at the bottom of each guide to provide feedback.

Please note that the guides are written to assist researches and do not constitute legal advice.
