Legal Research
Researching the law involves discovering judicial cases, statutes and codes, executive orders, congressional hearings, legislative history, administrative regulations and much more. Although many resources are available via open access online through government and other portals, the UCB Library has purchased several resources that permit more in-depth and historical research.
