Answer to Question 1

Primary sources of law include court decisions, statutes enacted by legislative
bodies, rules and regulations created by administrative agencies, presidential orders, and generally any documents that establish the law.
Secondary sources of law consist of books and articles that summarize, systematize, compile, explain, and interpret the law. Generally, when beginning research projects, paralegals look first to secondary sources of law to help them find relevant primary sources and to educate themselves on topics of law with which they are unfamiliar. For this reason, secondary sources of law are often referred to as finding tools.

Answer to Question 2

Regulations issued by federal administrative agencies are primary sources of law. Agency regulations are published in the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.). The C.F.R. follows a format similar to that of the United States Code (U.S.C.) and the subject classifications, or titles and title numbers, of the C.F.R. correspond to those in the U.S.C. To locate recently published regulations, the researcher should refer to the List of C.F.R. Sections Affected, issued monthly, which reflects any changes made to a section since the last revision.
