Discover how American Law Reports (A.L.R.) http://libguides.law.du.edu/alr annotations
can lead researchers to appellate cases from state and federal jurisdictions. See
“Finding State Annotations” and “Finding Federal Annotations” for guidance in
locating annotations in Table of Cases, Index, Table of Laws, Rules and
Regulations, and Digest of Decisions and Annotations with Research References. Find
out why researchers should avoid using A.L.R. Quick Indexes and which indexes
are kept current with quarterly pocket parts published in January, April, July,
and October.
Look under “Updating Annotations” to see why it’s
essential to check all annotation citations in Annotation History Table and how
researchers can update older annotations as far back as 1919.
