This research guide is created for the Drug Policy and Public Health Strategies Clinic. The guide is directed to provide the student
attorney in Maryland with a starting point for practice-oriented
legal research, with special emphasis on the areas
of health care policy reform and improving access to drug treatment for addictions, such as through the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, and preventing discrimination in the areas of insurance, employment, and housing through enforcing the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act.
With any project, unless you are already knowledgeable about
the topic area, it's best to start with secondary sources and
then to consult primary sources. Secondary sources such as handbooks,
guides, and manuals, as well as sample forms and other practice
materials, provide an attorney with rules and guidelines for
law practice within certain jurisdictions. Articles and books
can provide you with an overview of your topic and help you
think of search terms you might not have thought of otherwise.
They also cite primary authorities such as statutes and cases.
You can use the primary sources cited in secondary sources as
a jumping off point to find other primary sources in several
On Westlaw or
in West Digests (for example, the Maryland
Digest), look up the topics and key numbers in the cases
you've already read to find other cases that address the same
On Lexis, use "More Like This" to find other sources with wording
or citation patterns similar to the document you started with;
Read annotations to statutes to find cross references to cases that have
analyzed them or regulations that have been issued under their authority (jump to Statutory Materials).
Handbooks, guides, manuals, sample forms and other secondary
materials provide an overview of practice areas and legal issue
areas. The following is a brief list of some secondary practice
materials available in the Thurgood Marshall Law Library. For
additional practice materials, please check the library's Catalog.

in the Clinic Library and the Maryland section of the main library
(call number KFM on the second floor). For research hints on
how to use the catalog, see the Research Guide - Searching
to Legal Periodicals & Books (which includes
books as well). These indexes include references to many journals
not included in Westlaw or Lexis databases and in some cases
provide access to the full text electronically. Each of these
two online indexes has a parallel print version: the Current
Law Index (K33 .C87), and the Index to Legal Periodicals
(K9 .N32) are shelved near the print journals on level 1. The
Index to Legal Periodicals is particularly helpful
if you need to find articles published prior to 1980. For additional
help on finding articles, visit Finding
Articles in Legal Journals and Law Reviews.
Most print journals are shelved on level 1 of the library, in alphabetical
order by journal title. To find out if the library has a particular journal
title in electronic format, use the e-journals
link on the Library web page or ask
a librarian for help. Journals:
