State by State Law Compilations

The most popular--and heavily used--materials in the Legislative Reference Library's collection are those things that include state-by-state comparisons of laws or statistics.  National Survey of State Laws is one of those books.  State-by-state charts clearly show the differences in laws for topics such as privacy of school records, right to work laws, and euthanasia.  Although we have it as a book at both our State Office Building and Minnesota Senate Building locations, all legislators and staff can directly access the electronic version without using a password.

WestlawNext provides another useful 50 state survey of laws.  As you might expect, West's 50 State Statutory Surveys cover more specific areas of the law such as convening of grand juries, determination of compensation regarding eminent domain, and revocation of professional licenses for failure to pay child support.  Many legislative staff have full access to WestlawNext already--but any legislator or legislative staff person can "check out" a WestlawNext password from the Library to use the state surveys or do other legal research.

If you'd like to check out a WestlawNext password or take a look at the National Survey of State Laws in its paper version, contact a librarian at 651-296-8338 or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn
