And compiler of Subject Compilations of State Laws State agency decisions are among the most difficult to locate primary legal sources. Sporadic publication schedules, frequent title changes, and the prevalence of small, local commercial publishers all contribute to the challenges faced by law librarians and attorneys in obtaining administrative precedent. This last frontier in legal bibliography finally has been thoroughly documented. Cheryl Nyberg, an experienced government documents and legal reference librarian, has compiled the first comprehensive bibliography of print and electronic sources of state administrative decisions, opinions, orders, and rulings. More than five hundred websites with administrative decisions are identified.
Many entries contain annotations that describe contents, indexes, and coverage.
Complementing these elusive sources are entries covering administrative codes and registers, governors' executive orders, judicial conduct opinions, legislative ethics decisions, state documents bibliographies and legal research guides, and selected municipal agency opinions. Author and subject indexes assist the user in finding specific entries. A list of acronyms of agency names, publications, and administrative documents is also included.
