THIS INDEX WAS DEVELOPED BY THE COMMITTEE ON THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ASSIST ATTORNEYS GENERALS' OFFICES IN INDEXING ADVISORY OPINIONS AND OTHER LEGAL MATERIALS.
Abstract
IT IS ALSO INTENDED TO HELP ENCOURAGE UNIFORMITY IN INDEXING AMONG THE RESPECTIVE OFFICES. OF THE TOTAL OF 1,222 ENTRIES CONTAINED IN THE INDEX, 537 ARE INDEX TERMS AND 685 ARE CROSS-REFERENCES. NAMES OF ORGANIZATIONS OR AGENCIES ARE NOT INCLUDED. EACH ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WOULD ADD THE EXACT TITLES OF ITS STATE'S DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES TO THIS LIST, AS WELL AS OTHER NECESSARY REFERENCES THAT ARE PECULIAR TO THAT STATE. THIS INDEX WAS DERIVED FROM THE INDICES OF A 10 STATE SAMPLE. ADOPTION OF, OR CROSS-REFERENCING TO, THE INDEX WOULD PERMIT INTERFACE AND FACILITATE INTERSTATE EXCHANGE OF MATERIALS, PARTICULARLY WITH AN INCREASING NUMBER OF ATTORNEYS GENERALS' OFFICES MOVING TOWARD PERMANENT STORAGE OF OPINIONS AND OTHER LEGAL MATERIALS ON AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT.
