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




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




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




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




methods of doing legal research have changed considerably over the past several years. The availability
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




of legal resources through the Internet has tremendous influence on the way research is conducted. No
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




longer are researchers confined to a law library. The widespread use of all forms of computer assisted
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




legal research requires that legal researchers develop new skills.
n n n n n n n n n




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




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




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




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




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




Internet research. We have also refined the use of sample pages from print resources. Since legal
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




writing continues to be a source of concern, we have added a section to each chapter providng a short
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




Practical Approach n




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




citation, and writing exercises. Research assignments can be performed
n n n n n n n n n




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




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




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




Answers to selected research problems are found in Appendix G to the text.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




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




students find a writing assignment preceded by an explanation and example. Suggested answers to
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




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




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




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




allows students and instructors to select one hypothetical case (many
n n n n n n n n n n




3

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




or writing project in chapters. In this way, students see how the material covered in the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




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




added.
