handle is hein.journals/lgrefsq5 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL This issue of the LRSQ is again a packed one, with articles on topics both old and new. Our first article is by Lisa Whitehill. It's on the topic of direct legislation, the means by which voters use the initiative process to create their own state laws and constitutional amendments. Ms. Whitehill's survey of the literature of this field provides an excellent introduction to both the substance and secondary literature in the area. It was originally prepared for a conference sponsored by the Center for the Study of Law and Politics. The second article, The Right to Die, is by Kimberly Daven- port, a Boalt Hall law student. Ms. Davenport has prepared an ex- tensive annotated bibliography of sources and materials on this high- ly controversial topic. With this in hand, the scholar will have a grasp of this quickly changing field. Don Davidson, librarian at Rogers & Wells law firm in Los Angeles, and a new member of our Advisory Board, has compiled a timely bibliography on law firm branch offices.

Mr. Davidson sheds useful light to help us understand the issues involved in going multiple. Mark Sullivan, reference librarian at the Harvard Law Library, provides us with a study of the political violence in Northern Ire- land. His selected bibliography covers the period from 1969-84 and offers an introduction to the literature on this agonizing issue. An interesting study by P. Allen Dionisopoulos of Northern Illi- Legal Reference Services Quarterly, Vol. 5(1), Spring 1985 © 1985 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved. J
