About this Legal Classification Project

Legal Classification is an Encyclopedia of Law project designed

In the future we plan to work in supporting the aggregation of bibliographic information and assignment of classification numbers and subject headings for legal materials, that contain Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) numbers, Library of Congress Classification (LCC), including Encyclopedia of Law entries, and other classification systems. The user will retrieve a summary of the legal material by ISBN, ISSN, UPC, OCLC number, author/title, or subject heading.
