| Summary: | This Fourth Edition provides simple step-by-step instructions in manual research processes using print resources. The authors continue to focus on traditional processes, yet instruct students in current research practices by providing cross-references to general resources on the Internet. The book contains ÂComputer Note references to indicate electronic research alternatives. Numerous checklists underscore the common patterns in manual legal research, as well as help to simplify each research process. The checklists separate indices allow instant access to particular procedures. Specific problems also illustrate each process. Because legal issues are rarely so straightforward as to involve only one research process, some sample problems recur in more than one chapter, to demonstrate the interrelationships between research procedures. An appendix provides additional practice problems, accompanied by a brief outline of the research sources.
