"[A] guide to the history and development of law in the U.S. and the change from territory to statehood"--Back cover.
This is the latest edition of Elizabeth Moys' classic reference work for law librarians. This edition will bridge a 10-year gap since the 4th edition. Substantial revisions will be made including extended coverage to feature new areas, resulting in a more comprehensive and reliable book for law librarians which will help them to classify their law publications effectively. This edition has been revised and expanded by Diana Morris in conjunction with a team of contributing editors, who use the scheme daily. This publication is essential for law librarians or information workers with an interest in law librarianship, especially those who already use the Moys Classification Scheme in academic, corporate and other law libraries.
