Week 5 - law and legislation

This will we will be looking at law and legislation as primary sources.  You should look for a specific court decision, proposition, or bill, rather than someone else's analysis (e.g., link to an opinion like Plessy, rather than a secondary analysis of this decision).

Here are some links to get you started:
Law resources from our library's website
US Supreme Court (decisions 2000-present)
Google Scholar advanced search (see "Legal opinions and journals" at bottom of page for search options)
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (lower court rulings, 2000-present)

You could also look for one of the many ballot propositions in CA history

Please e-mail with any questions.
