Looseleaf in the United States

Looseleaf Service in the Context of Law Research

The Thurgood Marshall School of Law Library defined briefly Looseleaf as: A publication, usually devoted to a specific topic such as taxation or labor law, which consists of pages filed in a loose-leaf binder. The publisher of each loose-leaf service continually sends out new pages which are filed in the binder to keep it current.Legal research resources, including Looseleaf, help to identify the law that governs an activity and to find materials that explain that law.
