Arizona Practice Materials: A Selective Annotated Bibliography*

Transcription

1 Arizona Practice Materials: A Selective Annotated Bibliography* Arturo L. Torres** Carol Elliott*** The authors provide a selective listing of Arizona legal publications, including primary sources, treatises, and current continuing legal education materials that are typically used in the practice of law in Arizona. Introduction In the not-too-distant past, it was fairly easy for the practicing attorney to keep abreast of the legal literature and legal publications. But the burgeoning of legal materials in recent years has contributed to the frustration of many a practitioner. Although Arizona has a fairly recent history, having achieved statehood in 1912, materials relating to Arizona legal practice have progressively multiplied in the last two decades. Consequently, Arizona practitioners are steadily finding it more difficult to keep up with the legal literature and publications outside their specialty areas. This bibliography attempts to address that concern by providing annotated ready references to Arizona practice materials for local practitioners and others. This annotated bibliography is one in a series on state practice materials published in Law Library Journal.' It includes both primary and secondary materials ordinarily used in the practice of law in Arizona. For * Arturo L. Torres & Carol Elliott, The authors wish to thank Trish Taylor, Ronald L. Cherry, Edward H. White III, and the entire library staff for their encouragement and support. ** Head of Reference, University of Arizona, College of Law Library, Tucson, Arizona. *** Reference Librarian, University of Arizona, College of Law Library, Tucson, Arizona. 1.

2 Law Library Journal [Vol. 80:577 supplemented works, we have noted the frequency and the type of updating. We also have indicated where updating is irregular or not done at all. We have excluded out-of-print titles from the bibliography, except when such titles are significant and no current equivalent exists. Also excluded are audiovisual media materials, self-help materials, and previous editions of a work. Finally, we have limited our references to those items that have statewide applicability. As a general rule, we have excluded pre-1985 State Bar of Arizona Continuing Legal Education Committee seminar and workshop materials. These works are usually intended for current awareness, are not updated, and are, for the most part, out-of- print and no longer available. 2 In short, their usefulness has been outlived. However, those pre-1985 seminar and workshop materials containing unique, relevant, and useful information not duplicated elsewhere are included, regardless of their publication date. Materials prepared in conjuction with a seminar or workshop published since 1985 and on or before July 1988 have been included with few exceptions. These materials often discuss new and current developments and trends in the law.,the materials included below were gleaned from various sources. Most were produced by local publishing companies, state agencies, the State Bar of Arizona Continuing Legal Education Committee, and other groups, such as the Arizona Law Institute. 3 Additionally, selective legal publishers' lists were consulted, as was Teenstra's Survey of Arizona State Legal and Law-Related Documents 4 and Elliott's Arizona Practice Materials Bibliography 2d. 5 Since price changes occur frequently and unpredictably, the prices of the items have not been included. Publishers should be contacted for discounts, price changes, and shipping and handling charges. 6 General publications commonly used in the practice of law are listed at the beginning of this bibliography by type.
