Until now tracking dissertations and theses prepared at American
law schools has been an elusive undertaking. Few schools provide
accessible information and the standard guides to dissertations
largely have ignored the subject area. Yet most researchers have
long recognized the potential value of these documents in subject
areas as diverse as constitutional law, economic and social
regulation, comparative law and politics, taxation, and
international affairs.
The objective of "The Greenwood Annual Abstract of Legal
Dissertations and TheseS" is to provide convenient research access
to these materials. In this, the first volume in the program,
abstracts are provided for 176 dissertation and theses issued from
1985 through 1987. Future volumes will strengthen the coverage of
the initial period while bringing the coverage forward. The volume
is organized in three sections. The abstract section comprises the
bulk of the work and is organized alphabetically by author last
name. Each entry consists of full author name; full title and, with
few exceptions, full subtitle; name of the institution granting the
degree; year the thesis or dissertation was submitted or
copyrighted; the degree level; inclusive pagination; whether the
material has notes, appendixes, or bibliography; and a one-page or
longer abstract. The second section is a title index and the third
is a subject index. The latter has been designed to be of use not
only to researchers in the law but also to those in the social
sciences.
