Using Print Books for Legal Research

While much legal research has moved online, print books remain an important and reliable resource for developing legal knowledge and research skills. The library’s legal collection includes reference works, treatises on specific legal topics such as the U.S. Supreme Court, and essential state materials like the Connecticut Reports, Connecticut Appellate Reports, and the Connecticut General Statutes. These print resources offer authoritative information, often with helpful indexing and annotations that support deeper understanding. Becoming familiar with legal materials in both print and digital formats prepares you for real-world legal settings, where accessing and interpreting physical volumes is still part of professional practice.
