American Law Reports. ALR 5th: Annotations and CasesWhen you need to know a lot about a very narrow area of the law, the ALR is a great resource. Not all topics are covered, but those that are included in the multi-volume set are explained in great detail and include citations to state and federal decisions.
This national legal encyclopedia covers all state and federal legal topics. General rules of law are summarized in "Black Letter" headings and expanded upon in the text. Also provides the limitations and exceptions to the rules where appropriate. Since the citations and the supporting cases involve both state and federal courts, the user gets a full perspective of the law in a local jurisdiction as well as across the country. (ThomsonWest)
