New Library Guide for New Solo Attorneys
“Law Practice- Starting a Law Practice“ is a new library guide for attorneys starting out in practice. The guide provides resources for attorneys starting out solo or any small niche practice or boutique law firm. The library guide is organized by tabs covering law practice management, marketing & networking, attorney-client relationships, practice materials, and how to choose a legal research vendor. The library guide links to many resources readily available on the web and books owned by the Law Library.

There are several legal research systems available to law students and faculty, making it difficult to decide which database to use for your research projects. The Law Library has a library guide giving very basic information about each of the databases and the legal research vendors have many helpful guides on their websites.
For a quick comparison, here is a chart that lists similarities and differences between the 3 major legal research systems- WestlawNext, Lexis Advance and Bloomberg Law.
