Using Secondary Sources in Legal Research

This webinar will provide an overview of secondary sources such as legal encyclopedias, treatises, and dictionaries. In addition, the webinar will provide practical examples to show how these resources are used in practice. The presentation will demonstrate how secondary sources are an important step in the legal research method and how they can guide researchers to primary sources. Many of the materials and content for this webinar have come from the research guide, "Legal Research: A Guide to Secondary Resources" from the Law Library of Congress.
