The following are among the more valuable study and research aids available
in Russell Cole Library. Use them, but don't abuse them.
- LEXIS-NEXIS®:
A fabulous legal research tool that includes access to statutes, codes,
cases, and full text of virtually all legal journals. There is a direct
link to this service and many other valuable research links at Internet
Resources for Government, Politics & Law sponsored by the Department
of Politics.
- United States Reports. These are the official records
of the decisions and opinions of the United States Supreme Court. Since
1994 the U.S. Reports has been available on microfiche at "Microfiche,
Government Documents, Ju6.8." The library allows you to make free hard
copies from microfiche sources; however, all decisions of the United
States Supreme Court and most other coursts are more readily accessible
through LEXIS-NEXIS®. If you did not have access to LEXIS-NEXIS®,
the Legal Information Institute
at Cornell University and Findlaw.com
would be the best resources.
