Critical knowledge & skills for the Law Library

| United States Law Week is a loose leaf service (3-ring binder) that publishes every U.S. Supreme Court decision, and selected opinions from other federal courts. In addition, U.S.L.W. provides overviews and limited commentary on current legal issues.
| INDEX Every week, subscribers to U.S.L.W. receive an insert of cases and commentary which is placed in the binder (following the previous insert). Each insert has a table of what is provided in that set. It is found at the beginning of each periodical.
| THE MAIN VOLUME The volumes are simply a collection of the weekly inserts. The advantage to loose-leaf periodicals is that the cases are provided so quickly. In a day of online research, however, such an advantage is now almost moot. Thus, U.S.L.W. and other loose-leaf reporters have tried to improve the commentary and scope of the material provided supporting the law. This will, they hope, keep subscribers coming back.
