Content and Sources

This bibliography, updated quarterly, is organized through the use of forty-eight (48) legal subject categories. By choosing the Browse Categories option on the left, readers may see the full list of legal subject categories and sub-categories. The entries in the bibliography derive primarily from law journals, law reviews, and legal periodicals that publish articles, comments, notes, and developments that comprise the body of published research in agricultural and food law.

The National Agricultural Law Center has embarked on a project to digitize the entries contained in the bibliography to enhance the value of the bibliography by providing users free access to all articles through the Center's web site. This initiative seeks to digitize as many articles as possible without regard to publication date and to provide both an historical and more currect perspective of agricultural and food law literature. In cooperation with the publishers, articles will not be linked from the bibliography until a period of two years has elapsed from the date of original publication. Digitization of any article does not imply and is not intended to imply that its content is accurate or current with applicable laws.

Acknowledgments

Lisa Bowles, Circulation Librarian, University of Oklahoma, College of Law Library, for correcting the bibliographic entries and locating many additional entries. Her work was essential to making this bibliography as accurate and comprehensive as possible.

The National Agricultural Law Center for encouraging the improvement and expansion of this bibliography.

Of course, all categorizations and choices for entries were mine – for better or for worse. The hope is that this bibliography makes easily accessible the vast literature in agricultural and food law to all members of the agricultural and food law communities.

With best regards from the compiler,
