"This is an updated edition of item 325010 (AALL Publication Series No. 61) (formerly titled Guide to State Legislative and Administrative Materials 2002 ed.) From the preface: This guide brings together the major print and electronic sources of administrative and legislative information for the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the commonwealths and territories. The change in its contents since the last edition reflected the transformation of the world of legal information. The most notable change was the plethora of no-cost information available at law-related websites. The content of this edition has also been affected by the development of Internet search engines; consequently, information more likely to be current at a website was omitted."--Publisher's website.

Ohio Legal Research provides a concise introduction to Ohio-specific primary authorities and research tools for readers new to legal research or new to researching Ohio law. Ohio Legal Research introduces federal resources alongside their Ohio counterparts, which makes the text useful for an introductory research course that covers both state and federal research. Written with the understanding that research is best learned by practice, this book offers succinct explanation to guide the novice without including so much as to overwhelm. The updated second edition incorporates recent changes to the major electronic research platforms, while maintaining a process focus that will help the reader no matter which platform is available. Updated web addresses also point the researcher to many materials available for free online, including the recently adopted, official electronic reporting system for Ohio case law. Ohio Legal Research includes a fully revised chapter on citation that teaches basic citation form using the major citation manuals and, perhaps most significant to the Ohio practitioner, the recently overhauled Ohio Manual of Citations. This book is part of the Legal Research Series, edited by Suzanne E. Rowe, Director of Legal Research and Writing, University of Oregon School of Law.
