Lawyers may prefer a more in-depth \u201chornbook\u201d such as 1802 pages on \u201cblack-letter\u201d constitutional law. Annual handbooks designed primarily for practitioners in areas such as landlord-tenant law are also popular. The public may find nutshells and self-help guides more useful to get their bearings on a legal topic. Other types of law books include continuing legal education materials, such as those published by the Practising Law Institute.<\/p>\n Traditionally, law books lacked an important feature in legal research \u2014 current information in print sources. To compensate, some publishers published annual (or occasional) updates (“looseleaf services” or \u201cpocket parts\u201d), a method of updating hard copy legal reference works, to be put in the back of the bound volumes. For legal subjects (such as federal taxation and securities)that required even more frequent updating, looseleaf binders were used in which new pages could be filed as needed (weekly, monthly, quarterly).<\/p>\n However, many legal books are now maintained in real time on legal databases as “living” electronic documents with all amendments continuously merged in. Therefore, many newer legal books are now simply republished every year (or every other year) in the form of easily recyclable paperback books<\/p>\n See Also<\/strong><\/p>\n Legal Treatises Further Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n The Making of Modern Law: Foreign, Comparative and International Law, 1600-1926, Gale.
