Useful Links

Northern Illinois University College of Law David C. Shapiro Memorial Law Library has a great summary of the digest system with illustrations. Keep in mind, they use the Illinois Digest, but also explains the general process.

The Georgetown University Law Center has developed a useful step by step guide. It also provides answers to questions regarding head-notes, Key Numbers, and using the digests.
