sources commonly used by Connecticut legal practitioners, including sources with

a Connecticut focus on a wide range of legal specialties.
Specifically excluded from this bibliography are audiovisual works, articles
and chapters from larger works, and databases and libraries on Westlaw and
LEXIS-NEXIS. Continuing legal education materials and treatises that have gone
more than five years without updating have been included only where they are the
only or best source in a particular legal area. Researchers who are looking for his-
toric or other Connecticut legal materials not found in this bibliography should
consult the sources listed under "Legal Research and Bibliography" in the
"Connecticut Practice Treatises and Materials" section of this bibliography.
Most annotations appearing in this bibliography have been created through
direct review of the published materials. Where the materials were unavailable,
annotations were created through review of publishers' sales literature and Web
sites. Bracketed information in the citations has been supplied by me.
Contact information for publishers of the materials in this bibliography is pro-
vided in the appendix. Publishers should be contacted to determine publication
status and prices for materials. Due to recent and numerous publisher mergers and

outdated. The current publishers of those sources are included in this bibliogra-
phy, with the original publisher enclosed in parentheses.
