50 State Statutory Surveys

50 state statutory surveys provide access to state and federal statutes, usually in chart or table form, on a specific topic. While there is not a 50 state survey on every topic, when one exists it is very useful for multijurisdictional research. Westlaw, Lexis, and Hein all have 50 state statutory surveys in their collection and they each have some surveys on family law issues.  If there is not a 50 state survey on your issue, you can create one using Lexis' Protege, their generative AI tool.
