"Practice materials" are written by lawyers for use by other lawyers. They are used extensively in the practice of law. Practice materials are characterized by their "nuts and bolts" approach to legal issues.

These secondary materials often include forms or checklists to aid the practitioner and they are useful when looking for the most recent information in a particular practice area.
