About the Legal Reference Search Form
The Legal Reference search form is in the US Legal section of LexisNexis Academic. This search form allows you to search various legal dictionaries, law directories, and other Legal Reference material.
Search For
The "Search For" section allows you to input your own key terms. In these search boxes, you can put words or phrases that convey a particular topic, like "appeals." This is useful when you need to browse several documents on one topic.
Select Source
On the Legal Reference search form, simply click the check boxes of those sources you'd like to search.
Your other option is to use the "Edit in Power Search" link to navigate to the Power Search form. From there, you can add Boolean operators to your search.
