LEGAL RESEARCH

Hypo, Esq. took some time to compile this invaluable list of legal research resources for your use and reference, and he hopes that this list will be useful to both law school students and practicing attorneys. By no means is this list all-inclusive. Although this task is hippopotamus-sized, Hypo, Esq. is on a mission to have as many sources of legal research in one place as hypo-possible. Hypo Justice will regularly update the legal research list as hippopotamusly possible.
