The paragraph:

Although similar in tone to the articles in legal encyclopedias, ALR annotations are different in that they are not organized alphabetically, and they tend to delve more deeply into a specific legal principle or doctrine, while, in contrast, encyclopedia articles aim for a broader view of the legal issue. In addition, ALR articles are careful to provide cases on both sides of the legal issue and provide listings of cases according to their jurisdiction.

(emphasis supplied). The emphasized phrase being embedded among points of contrast between ALR and legal encyclopedias leads to the suggestion that that same phrase is itself a point of contrast, and therefore implies that legal encyclopedias generally do not provide cases on both sides of a legal issue. I'm not so sure that's true in my experience, and either way, is the exact sort of statement that should be sourced. I'd say as an aside, this article does read a bit like an ad for ALR. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 09:52, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
