We just published "Wexisberg: Quick Tips for Westlaw, Lexis, and Bloomberg" - <a href="http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/wexisberg">http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/wexisberg</a>! The guide provides a page for each service, then lets you know how to contact the service for help and gives research information for each system.<br />
<br />
We hope to highlight things you don't already know about these products. For example, Bloomberg has extensive guidance for navigating court dockets and documents. And did you know that Lexis has a series of YouTube videos on utilizing Shepard's (and everything else)?<br />

<i style="line-height: 17.12px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is a small research guide on a narrow point of law. As always, if you have any questions about this or other research that you're conducting, please <a href="http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/prf.php" target="_blank">let us know</a>. </span></i></h4>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;">Choice of law generally means “the question of which jurisdiction’s law should apply in a given case.” (Black's Law Dictionary (10th ed. 2014)). When a court is faced with this issue, it will apply conflict of laws rules – a procedural analysis.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;">“Specifically, a court seeking to reconcile the varying principles of different legal systems must (1) determine that it has jurisdiction over the matter, (2) apply either its own jurisdiction's rules or those of another legal system involved in the litigation, and (3) decide whether any foreign judgment already issued is to be followed.” (<i>Id.</i>) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;">This may include an analysis of foreign law. See the research guides <a href="http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/general_intl_law" target="_blank">Basics of Foreign and International Law</a> and <a href="http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/findit_foreign_law" target="_blank">Where to Find It: Foreign Law</a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;">The basic resources listed are designed to help you get a handle on the terminology of maritime and conflicts and a general grasp of the issue. The specific secondary sources listed below will guide you through maritime-specific issues. They will have general sections on jurisdiction and chapters covering other areas of maritime law. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 17.12px;">Important: there may be some differences on conflicts of law over criminal and civil matters, plus there may be maritime-specific rules. Because maritime is such a specific field, you may want to consult maritime-specific resources first. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Although there is <i>a lot</i> of great guidance for evidence law, even specific to Louisiana, that is available electronically, this is a great resource because it is an all-in-one handbook - so much so that it may be even more convenient than other online sources (gasp!). </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.26px;">Here are some reasons why you might want to take a look:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 19.26px;">Extensive overview of legislative history from the 1988 passage of the Code and subsequent amendments</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 19.26px;">Easy comparison of Louisiana Code and Federal Rules of Evidence</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 19.26px;">References to commentary dealing with more specific issues - <i>Daubert</i> decisions, DNA testing in paternity cases, rules of evidence in family law, choice of law, automotive recalls. </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 19.26px;">Important provisions re evidence from the US and Louisiana Constitutions, US Code, Civil Code, Code of Civil Procedure, Code of Criminal Procedure, Children's Code, and Revised Statutes</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 19.26px;">Excerpts from the Rules of Professional Conduct and Louisiana Supreme Court Rules</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 19.26px;">Note that the text of the Code of Evidence is included twice - in the first half of the book with only the language of the Code and in the second half with official comments and extensive authors' notes. (This second part is where the real goodness lies.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 19.26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ua1UnUmS10c/VwGklcDeP5I/AAAAAAAAAS4/4KEYMLVX7MQohUKxw8HH4FtQGsVW0YAZA/s1600/Week1_EvidComp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ua1UnUmS10c/VwGklcDeP5I/AAAAAAAAAS4/4KEYMLVX7MQohUKxw8HH4FtQGsVW0YAZA/s400/Week1_EvidComp.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 19.26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 19.26px;">You can find this book in the Reserve Collection on the first floor or in Reference on the second floor of the library at KFL 540 .H36. New editions are typically printed every year with updates reflecting amendments, new cases, and new commentary.</span></div>

<br />
On our new website designed to assist in your research, <a href="http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/">http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/</a>, there is a guide specifically for finding Louisiana legal materials. Called “Where to Find It: Louisiana Law”, it’s a guide for finding Louisiana law and related materials, with preference given for Bluebook citation standards. There’s so many places to find information online that it can often be difficult to know what is reliable. This guide is designed to lead you to reliable sources, and also help alleviate some confusion that the Bluebook can cause.<br />
<br />
You can visit the guide here, <a href="http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/findit_LA">http://libguides.law.loyno.edu/findit_LA</a> and then explore some of the other materials the LibGuides page has to offer.<br />

Those who vote in Louisiana are also aware that we amend the state constitution frequently. As of 2003 there were 111 amendments to the most recent 1974 Constitution, and there have been several amendment votes since that time. For a full listing, see Voting on Louisiana Proposed Constitutional Amendments 1978-2015, Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana, <a href="http://www.parlouisiana.com/explore.cfm/conhistory/">http://www.parlouisiana.com/explore.cfm/conhistory/</a> (last visited Mar. 3, 3016).<br />
<br />
Thanks to this long history, the Law Library has compiled a large selection of LA constitutional documents. We have copies of the majority of the constitutions, compilations that compare versions, delegate proposals, records for the constitutional conventions in 1921, 1973, and 1992, and more. The records of the conventions may include calendars, journals, and transcripts. Here you can see just of bit of what we have on the shelves.<br />

instructions without pattern instructions to follow. This book compiles jury
instructions that were actually given in particular cases with additional notes
to serve as a guide for practitioners. It is designed as a “companion handbook”
to work in conjunction with another popular treatise on LA jury instructions, <i>Louisiana Civil Law Treatise, Civil Jury
Instructions</i> (available in print KFL 542.6 .J64 and on WestlawNext). </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Many of you are probably familiar
with finding law journal articles in Lexis Advance and WestlawNext. This month
we’re taking a look at another place to find law journal articles
electronically, the HeinOnline Law Journal Library. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nPMVSOOI3HI/VkUT97L49OI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/xqnF-9IpJos/s1600/Week2_Hein_citation.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nPMVSOOI3HI/VkUT97L49OI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/xqnF-9IpJos/s320/Week2_Hein_citation.png" width="320" /></a>Why use Hein when Westlaw and Lexis
are so search-friendly and you might be there for other materials? Two great
reasons: Years covered and format. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<i>Years
covered:</i> Hein often has a greater archive of journals, reaching further
into the past. For example, the Loyola Law Review is available from the
following dates: Hein – 1941, WestlawNext – 1982, Lexis Advance – 1998. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<i>Format:</i>
Use Hein if you want to

You can access Hein through the library’s website using the
Online Resources page from the homepage. You’ll have to scroll until you find
Hein, or you can search for the term. You can see on our webpage all of the
Hein collections you have access to, which provide a great range of current and
past information for primary and secondary sources. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
Once in the Law Journal Library, you can utilize the
advanced search feature at the top of the page and search by article title,
author, subject, state or country published, full text, and narrow by date. After
an initial search, you can further refine using the options on the left hand
side menu, including subject, periodical title, country of publication, and
date range. Selecting an article will bring you to the PDF scan of the article
as it appears in the journal of publication. On the top menu, you can download
a PDF of the article, select download or print options, or select a particular
page from that volume of the journal using the drop-down menu. Click on the
left and right arrows on the top and bottom of the document to navigate to the
previous or next page. <o:p></o:p></div>

If you already have a journal citation and want to quickly
find the article, you can use the citation search option. Selection citation at
the top of the page; you can type the citation in there, but a better option is
to select “Citation Navigator”. As you type in the journal abbreviation in the
boxes provided, suggested titles will appear. <o:p></o:p></div>

used by anyone with an interest in religious freedom questions, issues in
corporate personality, and LGBT rights. This book compiles all current state
religious freedom acts. A table of documents lists where legislative intent or
other legislative history materials may be found (though admittedly, there are
not many). The editor notes where acts failed to pass and provides a
bibliography that will be helpful for general research.<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
Recent interest in religious
freedom restoration laws has its origins in the early 1990s with the passage of
the federal Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. After the Supreme Court in 1997
found that the Act applied only to the federal government in <i>City of Boerne v. Flores</i>, 521 U.S. 507
(1997), states began adopting these types of laws. Interest in this matter has
skyrocketed since <i>Burwell v. Hobby Lobby
Stores, Inc.</i>, 134 S. Ct. 2751 (2014), in which the Supreme Court held that
a for-profit corporation could hold religious beliefs. More recently, these
acts have made headlines in relation to LGBT issues and the inclusion of
same-sex couples in the right to marry in the wake of <i>Obergefell v. Hodges</i>, 135 S. Ct. 2584 (2015). <o:p></o:p></div>
