Conclusion And Fast Forward
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
After analyzing statutes and case law information on abortion in Florida, the student could conclude and state that offering to help a woman obtain an abortion was illegal in the 1960’s and, if a miscarriage subsequently occurred due to aid provided, the person who helped obtain the abortion could be convicted of 3rd degree manslaughter.
In 1973, the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade established that women had the right to seek an abortion and that states had to balance their ability to regulate health against a woman’s health care decision power and the potentiality of human life. 410 …

Research Strategy And Resources
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
The first step in any research process is to create a research strategy and organize your plan. The first step in most legal research is the use of secondary sources in order to gain an overview of a legal issue and to find cases and statutes that discuss the topic. A possible source about the state of the law in Florida on the topic of abortion was Florida Law and Practice.

Historical Research Project On Abortion
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
This document represents an historical research project, from start to finish, as it would have been accomplished during the time Virgil Hawkins was fighting to gain entry into the University of Florida law school. The student would have used print resources to resolve this legal question regarding abortion, a topic about which the law has changed significantly since the time this research would have been performed.
Secondary Sources--Step One In The Research Process
Secondary Sources--Step One In The Research Process
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
The first step in most legal research is to start with secondary sources to gain an overview of a legal issue and to find cases and statutes that discuss the topic. Secondary sources are statements or texts written about the law. A source that was available in the FAMU law library and could have been used to find information about the state of the law in Florida on the topic of abortion was Florida Law and Practice. To find information in Florida Law and Practice, the student would have used the title’s index and looked up the search …
Updating Resources
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
In order to be certain the law that forms the basis of a legal argument or theory is current, it is crucial to update your research. Different resources use different methods, but a common method for treatises is the pocket part, an insert at the back of a book that contains information from after the date the book was published. Consequently, after reading the relevant entries in the main text of the treatise, the student would have looked at the pocket part to determine if there were any new cases or statutory changes that applied.

Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
After finding the entry for abortion in the index, the student would then have gone to the volume and page indicated by the index to read the information provided. Studying the information contained in the entries, the student would have taken notes about statutes and cases that would be used to craft a legal analysis. The statutes on point that are listed by the treatise's entry are Florida Statutes § 782.10 and Florida Statutes § 797.01. The entry also names Eggart v. State as a case that discusses when an individual could be charged with a crime for assisting a …
Florida Law And Practice
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
This compendium of Florida law is based on State and Federal decisions arising from Florida Statutes. It is an up to the minute encyclopedia of Florida law and procedure, edited by an exceptionally well qualified and experienced group of Florida lawyers and teachers, who have helped make Florida Law. The text is keyed to Florida publications, practice books and Florida digests.
This document contains limited excerpts from Volume One that apply to the research problem.

Next, the student would check the pocket part to the volume of the Florida Statutes Annotated that they were using for entries on both F.S. § 782.10 and F.S. § 797.01, thereby ensuring that they were seeing the most current information
Florida Statutes Annotated
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
The Attorney General of Florida, pursuant to the legislative mandate expressed in the Act approved May 25, 1939, Laws 1939, c. 19140, has prepared a "revision, compilation and consolidation of all the General Statutes of Florida in force, of a permanent nature" which, by Act approved June 6, 1941, Laws 1941, c. 20719, except as otherwise provided therein, was "adopted and enacted as statute law" under the title of Florida Statutes 1941.
Constitutional Law--Minimum Wage Law For Women As A Violation Of The Fifth Amendment
Constitutional Law--Minimum Wage Law For Women As A Violation Of The Fifth Amendment
Michigan Law Review
The advance of so-called social legislation within the last several decades has furnished an intensely interesting period in constitutional and industrial development. The last skirmish with the fast-disappearing forces of logic and anachronistic formalism seems to have been fought in the recent case of Adkins v. Lyons (April 9, 1923), U. S. Adv. Ops. 795 and 796.
A Critique Of Methods For Alteration Of Women's Legal Status, Gladys Wells
A Critique Of Methods For Alteration Of Women's Legal Status, Gladys Wells
Michigan Law Review
A case was appealed because all women electors were excluded from the jury. Held, the Nineteenth federal Amendment merely prohibits discrimination, leaving the states to confer the right of suffrage. Moreover, jury service is distinct therefrom; and the state constitution excludes women by providing for juries of twelve "men." If being an elector ipso facto entitled to jury service, the legislature could prescribe no other limitation. No question of violation of the Fourteenth Amendment can be raised since the accused does not belong to the excluded class.

Change In The Meaning Of Consortium, Evans Holbrook
Articles
LAWYERS have long boasted of the flexibility of the common law, of its ability to adapt itself to the needs of changing conditions of society, of its responsiveness to sociological progress. And while eager reformers have often-and with much reason complained that the law is laggard in its response to the needs of the people, yet it is clear that sooner or later the courts generally bring themselves into accord with "what is sanctioned by usage, or held by the prevailing morality or strong and preponderant public 'opinion to be greatly and immediately necessary to the public welfare." This responsiveness …

Consult Primary Authorities--Step Three In The Research Process--Case Law
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
The student would also use case law to learn about Florida’s treatment of abortion laws. To read Eggart v. State, using the citation provided by Florida Law and Practice, the student would have gone to volume 25 of the Southern Reporter and opened it to page 527. From the case, they would learn the history of Florida’s antiabortion statute and how it could be used to convict, of manslaughter, anyone who set out to cause a woman to miscarry. The first page of the Eggart case is to the left; the entire case can be found by scrolling …
Florida Reports
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
Some states have official and unofficial case reporter systems. Florida Reports was the official case reporter series that reported the decisions of the Florida Supreme Court from 1846 through 1948 in 160 volumes. When an official reporter exists court rules often require citation to both the official and unofficial reporter.
The Southern Reporter
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
Some states have official and unofficial case reporter systems. When an official reporter exists court rules often require citation to both the official and unofficial reporter. The Southern Reporter is the unofficial, regional, reporter series that reports the decisions of the Supreme Courts in Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, and Mississippi.
