PLSI 3351: Constitutional Law

This is a non-profit organization, established in 1992, housed at Cornell Law School. Their mission is to provide free-web access for people to use to find and understand law. This is an excellent resource; some features include an archive of decisions (by topic, author, party), an easy-to-use legal encyclopedia (WEX), and a bulletin/e-journal of commentary on the law written by 2nd and 3rd year law students.

The research guide from Georgetown is another good place to find selected recommended resources. Remember that it's geared toward Georgetown Law students, so we may not have immediate access to everything listed here (e.g., we do not have a subscription to the Westlaw database). Still worth checking out for additional tips + resources! You can check out their other research guides by going to this main page: http://guides.ll.georgetown.edu/home

This guide from U of Chicago's Law Library is another great free-web resource to turn to when you are feeling stuck and need ideas for further places to search for information. Geared toward Law students, we won't have access to all the materials mentioned, but this is still worth checking out for tips and hints.

Another free-web resource, this database includes a case index, case briefs, landmark decisions, and brief biographies of the justices (past and present). This is NOT a scholarly source, but the material here can be helpful for drawing connections.
