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




When we first wrote Legal Research, Analysis, and Writing, we were convinced that students needed a
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




text that integrated research, analysis, and writing skills. We remain convinced of that; therefore, our
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




basic approach to the subject matter has not changed. However, legal research materials and the methods
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




of doing legal research have changed considerablyover the past several years. The availabilityof legal
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




resources through the Internet has tremendous influence on the way research is conducted. No longer are
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




researchers confined to a law library. The widespread use of all forms of computer assisted legal research
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




requires that legal researchers develop new skills.
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




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




are often preferred. The new skills that researchers must develop, therefore, cannot supplant traditional
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




research skills, but must complement them. As a result, most chapters now contain a section
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




incorporating the availability of legal research materials on the free Internet. We continue to have a
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj h j hj hj hj hj




chapter introducing Westtlaw, Lexis Advance, and Bloomberg Law, as well as an overview chapter on
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




Internet research. We have also refined the use of sample pages from print resources. Sincelegal
hj hj h j hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj h j hj




writingcontinues to be a source of concern, we haveadded a sectionto each chapter providng a short
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




writing exercise with suggested sample answers found in an Appendix to the text.
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




PracticalApproach hj




This text assists theinstructor in presenting material in a practical and relevant way. Each
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




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




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




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




introduce the topic of the chapter and to engage the student’s imagination. Each
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




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




online sources, or examples of legal writingso asto illustrate text material.
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




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




questions related tothese figures. Furthermore, because learning todo legal research
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




requires hands-on experience, at the end of each chapter are research, analysis, citation,
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




and writing exercises. Research assignments can be performed
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




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




an Instructor’s Manual.) So that students can build confidence prior to using a library
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




or online resource, exercises are found in a chapter end feature, Test Yourself.
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




Answers to selected research problems are foundin Appendix Gto the text.
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




Each chapter also addresses important writing issues in end-of-chapter features.
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




Test Yourself also contains asection entitled“Write It Right.” Here
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




students find a writing assignment preceded byanexplanation andexample. Suggested answers to
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




the writing assignment are generally provided in Appendix G.
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




Thisfeature covers avariety of legal writing issues.
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




All chapters also include a Chapter Summary, Terms to Remember, Citation
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




Matters, and Questions for Review, as well as a Case Project. This section allows
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




students and instructors to select one hypothetical case (many
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj

, of which are found in Appendices A and B) and to perform some research, analysis, or
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




writingproject in chapters. In this way, students see how thematerial covered in the
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




different chapters is integrated. Questions and problems for
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




group work,either in classor online through the use ofdiscussion boards, have been
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj




added.
