The Sixth Edition of Legal Research, Analysis, and Writing
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



When we first wrote Legal Research, Analysis, and Writing, we were convinced that students
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



needed a text that integrated research, analysis, and writing skills. We remain convinced of that;
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



therefore, our basic approach to the subject matter has not changed. However, legal research
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



materials and the methods of doing legal research have changed considerably over the past
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



several years. The availability of legal resources through the Internet has tremendous influence on
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



the way research is conducted. No longer are researchers confined to a law library. The
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



widespread use of all forms of computer assisted legal research requires that legal researchers
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



develop new skills.
sd sd sd



However, the law has not abandoned the written word and, as any experienced researcher knows,
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



books are often preferred. The new skills that researchers must develop, therefore, cannot
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



supplant traditional research skills, but must complement them. As a result, most chapters now
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



contain a section incorporating the availability of legal research materials on the free Internet.
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



We continue to have a chapter introducing Westtlaw, Lexis Advance, and Bloomberg Law, as
s d sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



well as an overview chapter on Internet research. We have also refined the use of sample pages
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd s d sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



from print resources. Since legal writing continues to be a source of concern, we have added a
sd sd sd s d sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



section to each chapter providng a short writing exercise with suggested sample answers found in
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



an Appendix to the text.

Practical Approach sd



This text assists the instructor in presenting material in a practical and relevant way.
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



Each chapter opens with a short memorandum From the Desk of W. J.
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



Bryan, Esq., that contains a hypothetical factual situation to be researched and
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



analyzed by a fictional research associate. The memorandum approach helps to
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



introduce the topic of the chapter and to engage the student‘s imagination.
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



Each chapter contains figures with sample pages from print resources, screen
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



shots from online sources, or examples of legal writing so as to illustrate text
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



material.
sd



One feature at the end of the chapter, Can You Figure It Out?, requires students to
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



answer questions related to these figures. Furthermore, because learning to do legal
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



research requires hands-on experience, at the end of each chapter are research,
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



analysis, citation, and writing exercises. Research assignments can be performed
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



in a library or, in many cases, online. (Answers to most of these exercises are
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



found in an Instructor‘s Manual.) So that students can build confidence prior to
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



using a library or online resource, exercises are found in a chapter end feature,
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



Test Yourself. Answers to selected research problems are found in Appendix G
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



to the text.
sd sd sd



Each chapter also addresses important writing issues in end-of-chapter
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



features. Test Yourself also contains a section entitled ―Write It Right.‖ Here
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



students find a writing assignment preceded by an explanation and example. Suggested
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



answers to the writing assignment are generally provided in Appendix G.
sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd



This feature covers a variety of legal writing issues.
