Legal Research and Citation

Thoroughly discusses how to best research factually based problems, how to coordinate secondary and primary research, and how facts interplay with the law as found in the course of legal research.

Learn how the common law and statutes relate to each other in the context of researching specific problems. The fourth edition better integrates the learning of legal citation with the citation tools themselves.

Chapters include Reading, Citing, and Updating Cases; Legislative Legal Research; Coordinating Research in Secondary Authorities and Focusing on the Law in Specific Jurisdictions; and more.
