This is a bibliography of sources and resources that may be of interest to students who are considering/planning to pursue advanced study of law and legal institutions, whether in law school or graduate school. This document begins on May Day of 2019, and may be updated if students find it useful and have suggested revisions to share with others. If you find other resources (websites, books, articles, podcasts, &tc.) that you think valuable to students of law and legal institutions, please share a citation/link with me, Dan Steward (djs@illinois.edu), so that I can add it to this bibliography. Thanks!
