Zimmerman's Research Guide

American Bar Association

The American Bar Association is the principal national association of attorneys. The ABA Web site posts a lot of information about the ABA, its programs and its publications.

To see if the ABA sells a particular publication, or to buy one, visit the ABA Publishing. To get new reports, etc., by the ABA, search the online Media Center, especially the Press Releases page. If they mention it, they'll probably tell you where to get it.

If what you want isn't on the Web site, try Westlaw, Lexis (in the ABA library) or, if you subscribe, Hein Online, which has most ABA journals. If that doesn't work, try other sources readily available in your area (e.g., your local county law library).

If that doesn't work either, getting ABA publications can be a drag. Try calling (a) the ABA Service Center to order it (1-800-285-2221); (b) the Northwestern University Law School Library to borrow it (312-503-0316; the ABA told me Northwestern has the best collection); or (c) the ABA (312-988-5000) to speak with someone who worked on it.
