Like we have suggested in some of our Law Beginner’s Guides in the past, the best place to start researching a new topic, such as the law of nonprofit organizations, is a secondary source, like a treatise, handbook, dictionary, encyclopedia, or a model act/law. These sources provide you with a foundation in the area, and you can use the citations they provide to drill down and find primary source materials.
