Information Sources in Law

Information Sources in Law is a book.

First Edition

The first edition was edited by R G Logan and published by Butterworths in 1986. It is part of the series which was then known as Butterworths Guides to Information Sources. It consists of twenty-three chapters attributed to twenty contributors. ^[1] The subject-matter of these chapters ranges from the general to the specialized. ^[2] A book on legal research describes Information Sources in Law as being "not as useful for present purposes" as the title promises. ^[3] The Solicitors' Journal expected that law libraries would find Logan's book to "prove useful". ^[4] Information Sources in Law is "detailed" and its contributors are "leading experts". ^[5]

Second Edition

The second edition was edited by Jules Winterton and Elizabeth M Moys and published by Bowker-Saur in 1997. The series of which it was part is now known as Guides to Information Sources. ^[6] It is "completely revised". ^[7] It focuses on Europe, ^[8] and deals with more than thirty of its jurisdictions. ^[9]
