The xSixth xEdition xof xLegal xResearch, xAnalysis, xand xWriting
When xwe xfirst xwrote xLegal xResearch, xAnalysis, xand xWriting, xwe xwere xconvinced xthat xstudents
xneeded xa xtext xthat xintegrated xresearch, xanalysis, xand xwriting xskills. xWe xremain xconvinced xof
xthat; xtherefore, xour xbasic xapproach xto xthe xsubject xmatter xhas xnot xchanged. xHowever, xlegal
xresearch xmaterials xand xthe xmethods xof xdoing xlegal xresearch xhave xchanged xconsiderably xover
xthe xpast xseveral xyears. xThe xavailability xof xlegal xresources xthrough xthe xInternet xhas xtremendous
xinfluence xon xthe xway xresearch xis xconducted. xNo xlonger xare xresearchers xconfined xto xa xlaw
xlibrary. xThe xwidespread xuse xof xall xforms xof xcomputer xassisted xlegal xresearch xrequires xthat
xlegal xresearchers xdevelop xnew xskills.
However, xthe xlaw xhas xnot xabandoned xthe xwritten xword xand, xas xany xexperienced xresearcher
xknows, xbooks xare xoften xpreferred. xThe xnew xskills xthat xresearchers xmust xdevelop, xtherefore,
xcannot xsupplant xtraditional xresearch xskills, xbut xmust xcomplement xthem. xAs xa xresult, xmost
xchapters xnow xcontain xa xsection xincorporating xthe xavailability xof xlegal xresearch xmaterials xon
xthe xfree xInternet. x We xcontinue xto xhave xa xchapter xintroducing xWesttlaw, xLexis xAdvance, xand
xBloomberg xLaw, xas xwell xas xan xoverview xchapter xon xInternet xresearch. x We xhave xalso xrefined
xthe xuse xof xsample xpages xfrom xprint xresources. x Since xlegal xwriting xcontinues xto xbe xa xsource
