A Guide to Law: Start

Fall 2020 reference (research) help:

• Chat with a librarian (M-Th 10:30-4:30; Friday 10:30-2:30)
• E-mail: folke@gustavus.edu (please include your name and the best way to contact you)
• Use this online request form to schedule an appointment for a one-on-one consultation with a librarian.  

This guide points toward some of the state, national, and international statutory, regulatory, and case law available in the library and through the Internet, as well as to reference books exploring legal issues. Legal information has its own organization and traditions, and it is constantly being updated, reinterpreted, and changed, so publication dates are important as you assess the usefulness of sources. 

This guide is a starting point; don't hesitate to ask a librarian for further assistance.
