Legal Research Demystified 2nd Edition (PDF) provides a practical, hands-on approach to the art of legal research. This textbook expertly leads law students through eight essential steps for tackling common law issues and ten steps for navigating statutory matters. With the aid of numerous hypotheticals and visual illustrations, these research processes come to life. Students laud the textbook for its informative screen captures, comprehensive checklists, and insightful charts—particularly those illustrating Boolean searching and comparing citator features. Professors value that this book equips students with the skills to conduct legal research effectively, rather than simply presenting tools and resources in isolation.
The second edition includes multiple updates.
- New assessment questions on research tools and concepts have been added to almost every chapter.
- The chapters on secondary sources, citators, and keyword searching have been revised and expanded.
- The chapters on research plans and secondary sources have been moved to their own section because these initial research steps apply to all legal issues.
With the purchase of a new book, students gain free access to the assessment and teaching platform of Core Knowledge for Lawyers. That online platform contains interactive questions and exercises that map to Legal Research Demystified.
- Almost 200 auto-grading questions from the end of each chapter.
- Instant feedback after each question—similar to Core Grammar and MBIE.
- Robust instructor dashboard—professors can view individual and class performance.
- Hundreds of interactive questions and explanations that walk students through the steps for researching common law and statutory issues on Westlaw and Lexis+.
