The Restyled Federal Rules of Evidence
I got a nifty booklet in the mail comparing the current Federal Rules of Evidence to the “restyled” rules that go into effect on December 1st. The “restyling” is supposed to make the Rules easier to understand without changing the … Continue reading
Federal Rules in eBook Format
Another quickie: I added the Legal Information Institute’s Federal Rules eBooks to the Federal Procedure Rules, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence entries.
SCOTUSblog rocks for cert. petitions, briefs, etc.

New name and more uses for Lexis/ProQuest Congressional
I changed “Lexis Congressional” to “ProQuest Congressional” to reflect the new name in the Federal Legislative History, Congressional Record and Congressional Reports entries. I also added ProQuest Congressional to the Federal Register entry (covering 1977 to present) and to the “Historical Editions” … Continue reading

I added Google Scholar to the entries for all the U.S. Circuit Courts. Google Scholar has Circuit Court opinions back to the 1920s and wickedly powerful relevancy searching. It’s my go-to source for free Federal case law.
Inter-American Conventions on Letters Rogatory
While any change to the Letters Rogatory entry is exciting, today I added in the Inter-American Convention on Letters Rogatory and the Additional Protocol to the Inter-American Convention on Letters Rogatory. The conventions make it easier for a party in one country to … Continue reading

New Government Contracts entry posted; Government Contracts Project Completed
The Government Contracts entry has been completely rewritten and reorganized. This is the last step in the project to update all the government-contracts related entries in the Guide. The revised Government Contracts entry covers the following research topics: Finding RFPs Identifying Companies That Receive … Continue reading
Update for the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure
I updated the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure entry. Highlights include links to two free online editions of the Rules (the entry was probably written before the Rules were posted) and a new section on locating Advisory Committee Notes.
