The,Sixth,Edition,of,Legal,Research,,Analysis,,and,Writing
When,we,first,wrote,Legal,Research,,Analysis,,and,Writing,,we,were,convinced,that,students,neede
d,a,text,that,integrated,research,,analysis,,and,writing,skills.,We,remain,convinced,of,that;,therefore,
,our,basic,approach,to,the,subject,matter,has,not,changed.,However,,legal,research,materials,and,the,
methods,of,doing,legal,research,have,changed,considerably,over,the,past,several,years.,The,availabil
ity,of,legal,resources,through,the,Internet,has,tremendous,influence,on,the,way,research,is,conducted
.,No,longer,are,researchers,confined,to,a,law,library.,The,widespread,use,of,all,forms,of,computer,as
sisted,legal,research,requires,that,legal,researchers,develop,new,skills.
However,,the,law,has,not,abandoned,the,written,word,and,,as,any,experienced,researcher,knows,,bo
oks,are,often,preferred.,The,new,skills,that,researchers,must,develop,,therefore,,cannot,supplant,trad
itional,research,skills,,but,must,complement,them.,As,a,result,,most,chapters,now,contain,a,section,i
ncorporating,the,availability,of,legal,research,materials,on,the,free,Internet., We,continue,to,have,a,c
hapter,introducing,Westtlaw,,Lexis,Advance,,and,Bloomberg,Law,,as,well,as,an,overview,chapter,o
n,Internet,research., We,have,also,refined,the,use,of,sample,pages,from,print,resources., Since,legal,
writing,continues,to,be,a,source,of,concern,,we,have,added,a,section,to,each,chapter,providng,a,short
,writing,exercise,with,suggested,sample,answers,found,in,an,Appendix,to,the,text.
Practical,Approach
This,text,assists,the,instructor,in,presenting,material,in,a,practical,and,relevant,way.,E
ach,chapter,opens,with,a,short,memorandum,From,the,Desk,of,W.,J.
Bryan,,Esq.,,that,contains,a,hypothetical,factual,situation,to,be,researched,and,an
alyzed,by,a,fictional,research,associate.,The,memorandum,approach,helps,to,intro
duce,the,topic,of,the,chapter,and,to,engage,the,student’s,imagination.,Each,chapte
r,contains,figures,with,sample,pages,from,print,resources,,screen,shots,from,onlin
e,sources,,or,examples,of,legal,writing,so,as,to,illustrate,text,material.
One,feature,at,the,end,of,the,chapter,,Can,You,Figure,It,Out?,,requires,students,to,an

xercises.,Research,assignments,can,be,performed
in,a,library,or,,in,many,cases,,online.,(Answers,to,most,of,these,exercises,are,foun
