Self-Help Guide to Legal Information

Scope and Access

This guide was designed to help public patrons with legal research needs on a variety of topics. The first part of the guide provides references to general legal resources in print and on the internet. The list of general resources is followed by a list of print and electronic legal resources organized alphabetically by legal topic.

The links on this page are to free websites, to information about books available in the Ross-Blakley Law Library, and to electronic books available on the ASU library computers. ASU students, faculty, and staff can also access electronic books using their ASUrite passwords.

The Ross-Blakley Law Library has many helpful research guides. We also have a webpage especially for the public listing resources that are useful for public patrons. If you need legal advice or help in finding an attorney, see Legal Advice in the Phoenix Area.
