Paperchase - GRAY TEAM: Task 4

American Law Reports (ALR)

Features full-text of important cases from a variety of juridictions, plus:

  • Articles known as "annotations" which provide in-depth analysis and overview of a legal topic
  • Case citations and summaries
  • References to other secondary sources

Not comprehensive like an encyclopedia (you will not find an ALR on every topic)

Provides a useful summary and analysis of the law in a specific area

Generally focused on rapidly developing or highly controversial areas of law

Task Seven: ALR

Find the ALR Digest (HINT: it is on the shelves before the start of the ALR series).

What is the call number of the ALR Digest?
