Research
Subject-based collections that gather articles, authorities, and courses around a defined area of legal study.
Collection I
The Property Law Collection gathers the Society's study of estates in land, the recording acts, and the doctrines by which title, possession, and conveyance are established of record. It draws primary authority from state property statutes, selected federal statutes, and the recorded instrument itself.
Scope: Estates in Land · Recording Acts · Conveyance · Title
Collection II
The Trust & Fiduciary Law Collection gathers the Society's study of the express trust, the standing duties of the trustee (loyalty, prudence, impartiality), and the administration of estates. It brings together the Academy's coursework in trust and estate administration with the Journal's issue on the law of trusts.
Scope: Express Trusts · Fiduciary Duty · Estate Administration
Collection III
The Internal Revenue Code Collection gathers the Society's holdings of Title 26 of the United States Code together with its implementing regulations. It is the statutory foundation on which the Federal Tax and Internal Revenue Manual Collections rest.
Scope: Title 26 U.S.C. · Assessment · Collection · Penalties
Collection IV
The Internal Revenue Manual Collection gathers the Society's holdings of the IRM, together with the editorial scholarship that teaches how to read it. The IRM is the IRS's internal operating manual; it is not law, but it governs the conduct of the agency and is indispensable to anyone reading federal tax administration from the primary record.
Scope: IRM · Assessment · Collection · Examination · Penalties
Collection V
The Federal Tax Collection is the Society's broadest gathering of federal tax authority. It draws Title 26 and its regulations from the Legal Corpus, together with the full published record of revenue rulings, revenue procedures, IRS notices, treasury decisions, and the Internal Revenue Manual. It is the recommended entry point for readers approaching the federal tax record as a whole.
Scope: Federal Tax · Revenue Rulings · Revenue Procedures · IRS Notices · Treasury Decisions
Collection VI
The Civil Procedure Collection gathers the Society's study of the procedural rules by which a civil matter is pleaded, tried, recorded, and disposed of. It reads procedure as a system — pleading, record, hearing, judgment — before it is asked to yield a rule.
Scope: Pleading · Discovery · Summary Judgment · Judgment
Collection VII
The Commercial Law Collection gathers the Society's study of the Uniform Commercial Code and the surrounding law of sales, secured transactions, negotiable instruments, and consumer credit disclosure. It is read against the state enactments of the UCC and the federal consumer-credit regime.
Scope: UCC · Sales · Secured Transactions · Consumer Credit
Collection VIII
The Constitutional Law Collection gathers the Society's study of the Constitution of the United States, read as a written instrument, together with the doctrines the courts have developed under it. It is the founding record on which every other Collection ultimately rests.
Scope: Constitution · Judicial Review · Federalism · Individual Rights
Collection IX
The Administrative Law Collection gathers the Society's study of agency rulemaking, the weight of guidance, and the administrative record. It is read against the federal tax record as the Society's principal working example of an administered field of law.
Scope: Rulemaking · Agency Guidance · Administrative Record
