Am. Jur. 2d (American Jurisprudence) and A.L.R. (American Law Reports) are great secondary sources where you can start your research if you don’t know anything about the topic. They are secondary sources but they will cite you to primary sources such as statutes and cases. Am. Jur. 2d is a legal encyclopedia and A.L.R. is a series of articles or annotations on various legal issues.
Your firm has a client who got carried away watching “Sister Wives” on television and he married a second and then a third wife and converted to a religion that sanctions plural marriage. He is now being charged with bigamy. The client wants to know if his plural marriage can be sanctioned by his religious beliefs.
How to search Am. Jur. 2d on Lexis
On Lexis, under “Explore,” click on “Content” and then on “Secondary Materials”. Click on Am. Jur. 2d. You can search within this encyclopedia by entering search terms in the search box or by using the table of contents presenting subject areas.
Helpful Hint: This is a sample/template for the Bluebook format for citing Am. Jur. 2d. Don’t forget to put the title of the article in italics:
17 Am. Jur. 2d Contracts § 74 (1964).
Cite the Am Jur. 2d article on point.
Does religious belief protect the client from a bigamy charge?
Cite the 1996 U.S. Supreme Court case on point in footnote 1 of the article.

Use Lexis Forms to find a New York State form titled, “Retail Store Lease” and provide the form number. Lexis forms are under “Content,” then click on “Sample Forms” then click on the state.

Helpful Hint: This is the Bluebook format for citing law review articles:
Carolyn Heilbrun & Judith Resnik, Convergences: Law, Literature and Feminism, 99 Yale L.J 1913 (1990)
Helpful Hint: Go to Lexis “Content;” then “Secondary Sources;” then click on “Law Reviews and Journals;” then “Massachusetts;” then “Boston University Journal of Science and Technology Law Review.” Type in your query.
FINDING A LAW REVIEW ARTICLE: Your boss asks you to do some research about artificial intelligence and public policy. She went to a conference on this topic and one of the speakers mentioned a 2020 article in Boston University Journal of Science and Technology Law Review where Elon Musk was quoted, “With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon.” Find it and cite it.
Find a 2019 “Texas Journal of Air Law and Commerce” article about “Property Rules for Martian Resources” that also mentions Elon Musk. Cite it. Skim through the article and report on what Elon Musk said in a speech at the 2016 International Astronautical Congress.
Part 5
Using Lexis, find an A.L.R. (American Law Reports) article/annotation regarding what constitutes sex discrimination in termination of an employee so as to violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. You find the A.L.R.s in Lexis the same way you found the Am. Jur. 2d., since they are both secondary sources.
