Understanding Employer-Employee Relationships by Leticia Gonzalez-Estefani: Secondary Sources

A research guide to understanding what is the employer-employee relationship within Employment Law.

What are Secondary Sources?

Secondary sources are materials that discuss, explain, analyze, and critique the law. They are resources about the law, and not the law itself. All secondary sources help the researcher understand the parameters of the research topic and learn the basics about the topic. Researchers who know little about the area of law they are researching should first use a secondary source to gain familiarity with the jargon, issues, key cases and statutes, and legal history.

Types of Secondary Sources

Frequently used secondary sources include:

  • legal encyclopedias,
  • legal dictionaries,
  • Restatements,
  • treatises,
  • American Law Reports, and
  • articles in legal periodicals.
