Legal Research

Brand-New Revision of SC?s Green Book

By Rebekah

The second edition of A GUIDE TO SOUTH CAROLINA LEGAL RESEARCH AND CITATION arrived hot off the press on Tuesday, September 22. This beloved text is fondly known as the Green Book. In addition to citation examples to South Carolina materials both current and historical, it provides background information on the history, evolution, and production processes of our state materials, and guidance on how to research them.

The original text was written by Paula Gail Benson and Deborah Davis Hottel. In the second edition, Paula updates the original sources, introduces new sources, and provides URLs for those that are available via the Internet. Currently, Paula is Senior Staff Attorney with the Senate Judiciary Committee, but her prior hitch as the Reference Librarian in the Coleman Karesh Law Library makes her especially dear to our hearts.

To get your own copy of the Green Book, contact the SC Bar’s CLE Division at 803-771-0333 or visit the link to the publications store on the CLE page at www.scbar.org.
