Description
A marriage of the newest forms of legal research and the underlying principles of legal information, Finding the Law provides a comprehensive treatment of print and digital sources of legal information, concentrating on the basic elements of legal research covered by most law school courses. Designed to be readable, the book serves as both a text and a reference guide for legal researchers. It covers the context of legal research and includes information on state legal research guides; bibliographies; court reports; case verification and updating, case finding; and sources of federal regulatory agency rules, regulations, and adjudications. Finding the Law offers guidance on how to read a case and deal with legal authority and provides up-to-date information via a corresponding Web site.
