A.L.R.s look at a very narrow topic in depth, citing cases on both sides of the issue.

There is a federal series (A.L.R. Fed.) as well as a non-federal series (A.L.R.).

A.L.R. articles are regularly updated.

Print sets are updated with a combination of new bound volumes and supplements (pocket parts or separate paper bound supplements).

Updates to electronic resources are integrated in the database.
