The rSixth rEdition rof rLegal rResearch, rAnalysis, rand rWriting
When rwe rfirst rwrote rLegal rResearch, rAnalysis, rand rWriting, rwe rwere rconvinced rthat rstudents
rneeded ra rtext rthat rintegrated rresearch, ranalysis, rand rwriting rskills. rWe rremain rconvinced rof rthat;
rtherefore, rour rbasic rapproach rto rthe rsubject rmatter rhas rnot rchanged. rHowever, rlegal rresearch
rmaterials rand rthe rmethods rof rdoing rlegal rresearch rhave rchanged rconsiderably rover rthe rpast
rseveral ryears. rThe ravailability rof rlegal rresources rthrough rthe rInternet rhas rtremendous rinfluence ron
rthe rway rresearch ris rconducted. rNo rlonger rare rresearchers rconfined rto ra rlaw rlibrary. rThe
rwidespread ruse rof rall rforms rof rcomputer rassisted rlegal rresearch rrequires rthat rlegal rresearchers
rdevelop rnew rskills.
However, rthe rlaw rhas rnot rabandoned rthe rwritten rword rand, ras rany rexperienced rresearcher rknows,
rbooks rare roften rpreferred. rThe rnew rskills rthat rresearchers rmust rdevelop, rtherefore, rcannot
rsupplant rtraditional rresearch rskills, rbut rmust rcomplement rthem. rAs ra rresult, rmost rchapters rnow
rcontain ra rsection rincorporating rthe ravailability rof rlegal rresearch rmaterials ron rthe rfree rInternet.
r We rcontinue rto rhave ra rchapter rintroducing rWesttlaw, rLexis rAdvance, rand rBloomberg rLaw, ras
rwell ras ran roverview rchapter ron rInternet rresearch. r We rhave ralso rrefined rthe ruse rof rsample rpages

rsection rto reach rchapter rprovidng ra rshort rwriting rexercise rwith rsuggested rsample ranswers rfound rin
