Description
Tape 1 is designed for first year law students, paralegals, new attorneys or anyone coming to legal research with little or no experience. Tape 2 covers case-finding both on paper and in cyberspace, and reveals to you the best tricks for saving time. Tape 3 shows you how to tell if your case is still good law, how you can use a citation to trigger your research, and how to use “Shepards” and “KeyCite.” Tape 4 is a bread-and-butter explanation of statutes, legislative history and administrative materials. Tape 5 explores both the content and methods of Internet research.
