Recommended for paralegals, law students, and researchers.
The online secrets of top legal researchers are covered in an important guide which uses interviews with experts to focus on legal research topics. From web site listings and commercial services to databases andprofessional journals, this is packed with practical references to legalresearch processes.

Learn From The Best!
This wonderful, timely book consists of interviews with the country's top legal researchers. I can't think of a better way to learn about legal research than from experts like Sabrina Pacifici, Cindy Chick, DianaBotluk, Genie Tyburski, Leigh Webber and the others profiled. learning from domain experts is fun!
This book should appeal to: 1) software developers and usability testers, to learn from experiences with well-established proprietary and newer web-based interfaces to highly structured databases (billions, literally,of pages in Lexis and WestLaw);2) content developers, web trainers andeducators in all fields who wrestle with quality issues of web content;3)observers of how professional communities use the web, as organizedassociations and for bottom-up information sharing;4) amateur andsemi-pro searchers who want to get tips from real pros trained in libraryand information science, as well as specific legal contents and methods.Read more

How To Legally Reason
In closely analyzing actual legal decisions, Reasoning and the Law is aunique philosophy of law text. After a fine short review of logic/reasoningin general, the book applies general reasoning to the law. It'sexceptionally student-friendly with thoughtful questions posed at the endof chapters. I highly recommend this book; it is the best introduction tophilosophy of law on the market. ... Read more

Excellent reading
This book takes the reader into the world of a bright, yet mentally ill criminal defendant. It thouroughly explores the problems encountered with questionable criminal competency legal standards as well as the practical courtroom dilemmas that develop when paranoid schizophrenics are found competent to stand trial.

Very Informative
This book is extremely informative regarding both competency to stand trial, as well as the insanity defense.It describes in easy to understand language how the court system handles individuals with mental illness.The two case examples, especially the case of Colin Ferguson, demonstrate how sometimes the courts may not make the right decisions regarding competency questions, and, as such, why mental health practioners are key people in such cases. ...

Practical information to help you through the first few weeks
Robert Berring, law librarian at Boalt Hall School of Law, and Elizabeth Edinger have prepared a lighthearted, easy-to-read and easy-to-digest booklet of background information and tips to surviving the first semester of legal research class.This 93-page booklet is by no means a hornbook of legal research.It makes no claim to teaching the reader how to conduct legal research.Rather, it provides basic introductory information on:(i) the Anglo-American legal system, (ii) the official case reports, the West national case reporting system, and the commercial case databases, (iii) case citator services such as Shepard's Citations and (iv) statutes.In addition, each chapter contains a few paragraphs of "pep talks" for panic-stricken first-year law students.
