Synopsis
A text in legal research, analysis, and writing primarily for para- legals, but that has also been used to introduce law to undergraduates in many disciplines. Ultimately, Stevens' purpose is to wrest the law from the monopoly of lawyers and judges, and return it to its rightful owners—society and its members. She includes a detachable guide to citing legal cases.
