Learning Legal Research: A How-to Manual with Practice

The best method for grasping legal research and legal analysis is to "just do it." Learning Legal Research gives students everything they need to analyze and research situations at any point during the legislative process.

The book includes the cases—a feature that is critical for students lacking immediate access to law libraries. It can either stand alone or be used in conjunction with a Legal Research and Writing textbook.

Using a hands-on approach, this book provides learners with an easy and comfortable way to learn about the processes, materials, and environment of legal research. It contains an introductory overview of a law library collection, allows users to conduct research without visiting an actual library, and explains, with—simple language and exercises—the many methods of legal research.

For all law office personnel, paralegals, judicial personnel, and criminal justice instructors.
