Legal Research Topics

Minnesota's Jury Instruction Guides are published by Thomson Reuters. They can be found on Westlaw (available on the public access computers in the Law Library) and in print as part of the Minnesota Practice Series. Unfortunately, they are not freely available on the internet. 

In our positions as librarians, not lawyers, we can suggest resources but cannot give legal advice (such as which form to file) or legal opinions (such as how a statute might apply to particular facts). To do so could be considered the unauthorized practice of law. Even though we try to suggest materials that will be of help, more research is often required to find a complete and correct answer. For many questions, the best answer may be to consult an attorney.
