Hornbook in the One-L Dictionary
A general reference to the series of treatises published by Thomson West or to other introductory texts written primarily for students. A hornbook addresses a particular area of law in summary form as compared to a law review article, which may provide a critical analysis of cutting edge issues, or a casebook, which often includes many reprints of court opinions. Hornbooks are often a good starting point for research, and students often use the hornbooks pertaining to the first year topics. The majority of the Library’s hornbooks are kept on reserve at the Circulation Desk.
