FOREWORD
This bibliography was compiled to provide a concise subject guide to the main treatises and reference sources in the U.S.C. Law Library. It draws heavily for its format and introductory comments on a previous publication compiled in 1984 by Peggy Maupin and revised in 1987 by Paul George. The content however is substantially new, comprising almost exclusively titles published since 1995.
The online version is available at: http://lawweb.usc.edu/library/publications/researchguide/index.html
My appreciation goes to Albert Brecht, Associate Dean and Chief Information Officer of the Law School and Brian Raphael, Assistant Director of the Law Library, who supported the creation of this new guide, and to Leonette Williams, Associate Director for Collections and Diana Jaque, Head of Collection Development for their active input.
My sincere thanks goes to Connie Cheung, “student assistant extraordinaire,” for her many hours of data entry. Her meticulous care made my task a much less onerous one.

INTRODUCTION
−i−
This Subject Guide to Secondary Legal Sources provides selected titles in treatises, looseleaf services, form books and audiovisuals in the collection of the University of Southern California Law Library. It is meant to meet several information needs; to serve as a ready reference tool for law students and library staff alike, and to give newcomers to the library, whether students or visitors, a starting point for legal research.
For law students the Guide represents a reasonably thorough but by no means exhaustive list of useful and current secondary sources in United States and international law. It is not meant to replace the use of ADVOCAT, the library’s online catalog, which is invaluable for extensive and retrospective research. Neither is it meant to preclude consultation with Circulation or Reference Librarians, whose expertise and knowledge of the USC collection can be helpful to students and other serious researchers.
Other than California law, works concerning specific states are excluded. Casebooks, texts and collections of articles or essays are generally excluded, as are periodicals and online sources. General encyclopedias and most other reference works are also excluded. However, selected titles of the popular legal press are included to meet the needs of lay patrons.
The Subject Guide is organized in dictionary format, alphabetically by subject headings. Subject headings together with cross references are listed as “Contents and Cross-References” on page iii. If a book concerns more than one subject, its title may appear in more than one subject section. Entries are gathered within each subject section in one or more appropriate groups, as: – Single volume treatises – Multivolume treatises – Looseleaf services – Legal forms
Books may be located by call numbers. If an entry has a special location it is indicated by a word to the left of the call number: OPEN RESERVE, CLOSED RESERVE, BIBLIOGRAPHIC AREA or READY REFERENCE. Ask for help at the Service Counter to locate these collections. Looseleaf services in general are located in the bibliographic area near the index tables and computer terminals. Most treatises are to be found in the Library’s Open Reserve Room. International materials are located on the third floor.
Currency and the state of the law are factors in title selection, and this Subject Guide is current as of February 28, 2007. The designation [current] within an entry means the work has been updated by a pocket part or separate supplement of latest date by its publisher. Publications in looseleaf format are so designated. Acronyms or abbreviations used in the bibliography are listed on p.x of this introduction.
