Excerpt from Principles and Practice of Legal Research, Vol. 1
Corpus Juris; Most important of the American general encyclopedias are Corpus Juris and Cyc or the Cyclopedia of Law and. Procedure. Preceding works, such as the two editions of the Ameri can and English Encyclopedia of Law, are out of print and rapidly obsolescent, not having been continued by supplements or annotations showing the later decisions and their effect. Corpus Juris, by the publishers of Cyc, is practically supplanting that work as rapidly as the titles in Cyc are reached and treated by the new work in their alphabetical order, which at the present rate of publication se cures a complete restatement of the' law covered by a Cyc title after that title has given service °i for about fifteen years. Since the titles of Corpus Juris and of Cyc substantially correspond in the scope of their subject matter, the publishers by means of the two works furnish completed treatises upon all titles throughout the alphabet, and by anno tation volumes take care Of the development in the law of all the subsequent cases.

This approach allows the reader to see both the forest and the trees, understanding the law as a coherent system with historical depth. The author's careful statement, collection, and comparison of decisions afford a valuation of each individual decision, considering cases cited by adversaries as contrary and harmonizing them wherever possible.
