Section V: Primary and Secondary Legal Materials
In every court, there are materials used to come up with the judgment. The articles are classified as primary and secondary materials. Primary documents are the original and historical materials of the law. The government or official court rules provide the materials. Primary legal materials include the case law, which is the decisions by the government and courts. Besides, there are legislations made by legislators, regulations by the government and federal agencies, and then the constitution. The secondary legal materials provide second-hand information to back up the primary resources. Examples of the secondary elements are publications such as books, journals, books review, and other articles.
