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




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




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




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




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




years. The availability of legal resources through the Internet has tremendous influence on the way
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




research is conducted. No longer are researchers confined to a law library. The widespread use of
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




all forms of computer assisted legal research requires that legal researchers develop new skills.
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




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




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




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




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




We continue to have a chapter introducing Westtlaw, Lexis Advance, and Bloomberg Law, as
B B BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




well as an overview chapter on Internet research. We have also refined the use of sample pages
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB B B BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




from print resources. Since legal writing continues to be a source of concern, we have added a
BB BB BB B B BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




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




an Appendix to the text.
BB BB BB BB BB




Practical Approach BB




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




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




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




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




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




chapter contains figures with sample pages from print resources, screen shots
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




from online sources, or examples of legal writing so as to illustrate text material.
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




to the text.
BB BB BB




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




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




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




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




This feature covers a variety of legal writing issues.
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




All chapters also include a Chapter Summary, Terms to Remember,
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




Citation Matters, and Questions for Review, as well as a Case Project. This
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




section allows students and instructors to select one hypothetical case (many
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




3

, of which are found in Appendices A and B) and to perform some research,
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




analysis, or writing project in chapters. In this way, students see how the material
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




covered in the different chapters is integrated. Questions and problems for
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




group work, either in class or online through the use of discussion boards, have
BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB BB




been added.
