Legal Research Links
This page provides links to research guides produced at other sites on a variety of legal subjects. Some of the research guides may be geared toward a specific library collection, but most should still be valuable in providing information on how to conduct research in legal subject areas that may be unfamiliar to you. If you are doing research in international, foreign or human rights law, or doing research involving United Nations documents, you should also visit our Web pages on those topics for additional links to research guides.
