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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




Practical Approach b




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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

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




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




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




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




added.
