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.
