Key Secondary Sources by Practice Area on Lexis

Posted on Posted in Lexis, Westlaw & Bloomberg

One helpful thing our librarians have done is to create a research guide entitled Major Legal Treatises & Services by Subject.  These include the top treatises on Westlaw Lexis and in print.

Lexis offers something similar for just their product: Key Secondary Sources by Practice Area for Lexis+.  The leading practice area secondary materials from Lexis’ Matthew Bender treatises are included.  The key secondary sources are also highlighted on Lexis+ when you go into an individual practice area and select secondary sources (they call it “Top Secondary Sources”).  This will help you find which secondary sources are considered the most authoritative in a given area of law on Lexis.

Practice areas where you will find the top secondary sources:

  • Bankruptcy Law
  • Civil Litigation
  • Copyright Law
  • Corporation/Business Organizations
  • Criminal Law
  • Labor & Employment Law
  • Patent Law
  • Property Law
  • Trusts & Estates
