About the Series

Cheryl Nyberg’s Subject Compilations of State Laws has long been recognized as the most comprehensive source for identifying thousands of articles, books, government documents, looseleaf services, court opinions and Internet sites that compare state laws on hundreds of subjects. The first volume, 1960-1979, compiled by Lynn Foster and Carol Boast, won the AALL Joseph L. Andrews Bibliographical Award in 1982. Also, in 2009 the database version of this collection won the 2009 AALL Best New Product Award. The series has been previously chosen for Best Legal Reference Books and has been called “unique,” “priceless” and “irreplaceable.”
