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




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




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




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




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




resources through the Internet has tremendous influenceon the way research is conducted. No longer are
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




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




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




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




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




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




the availability of legal research materials on the free Internet. We continue to have a chapter introducing
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




Westtlaw, Lexis Advance, and Bloomberg Law, as well as an overview chapter on Internet research. We
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




have also refined the use of sample pages from print resources. Sincelegal writingcontinues to be asource
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




of concern, wehaveadded asection toeach chapter providng a short writing exercise with suggested
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




sample answers found in an Appendix to the text.
c c c c c c c c c




PracticalApproach c




Thistext assiststheinstructor in presentingmaterialina practical andrelevant way. Each
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




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




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




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




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




contains figures with sample pages from print resources, screen shots fromonline
c c c c c c c c c c c c




sources, or examples of legal writingso asto illustratetext material.
c c c c c c c c c c c c




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




questionsrelated tothese figures. Furthermore,because learningtodo legal research
c c c c c c c c c c c c




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




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




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




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




online resource, exercises are found in a chapter end feature, Test Yourself. Answers to
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




selectedresearch problems are foundin Appendix Gto the text.
c c c c c c c c c c c




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




TestYourself also contains asectionentitled“Write It Right.” Here
c c c c c c c c c c c




students find a writingassignment preceded byanexplanation andexample. Suggested answers to
c c c c c c c c c c c c c




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




Thisfeature coversa varietyof legal writingissues.
c c c c c c c c




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




Matters, and QuestionsforReview, as wellas a CaseProject.This section allows
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




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

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

writingprojectin chapters. In this way, studentssee howthe material covered in the
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




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




group work, eitherin classor online through the useofdiscussion boards, have been
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




added.
