Included on every plan

What it is

Primary law gives you the rule; secondary sources help you understand it. The Law Mind carries over a million encyclopedia passages — including the complete Corpus Juris, Cyclopedia of Law & Procedure, and American & English Encyclopedia of Law — foundational treatises (Williston on Contracts, Story on Agency, Wigmore on Evidence), and our legal and Latin dictionaries.

How it helps you

Start with the big picture before you drill into the specifics — the way a good researcher always does. And it's not just hosted classics: we write original, citation-checked entries too.
