All of the library's periodicals are in alphabetical order on the fourth floor. If the Law Library does not own the journal you are looking for, non-law Rutgers students may order copies of any article through intralibrary or interlibrary loan at the Robeson Library. You will notice that these articles contain a huge number of footnotes. The citations in these footnotes will direct you to the applicable statutes, codes, regulations, and court opinions. These footnotes will also cite you to related articles and monographs.
Most legal citations consist of a number, an abbreviation, and another number.
You will notice as you become involved in your research that since everything is related to everything else there are no clear cut stopping points. You must decide when you have assembled enough information for your project.
