Concise Legal Research details the technical aspects of a huge number of legal sources and explains how to research law with confidence and in good time.

n

This new edition focuses on the impact of online access and the need for the researcher to move seamlessly between traditional and electronic resources. All strategies that have been created to incorporate hard copy researching techniques have been updated with alternate electronic methods.

n

Particular attention has been paid to the chapter on secondary sources, and with the maintenance of a structured approach to research, recognises that online research - with its many inherent pitfalls - must carefully fit within rules of research required by the discipline.

Industry Reviews

All readers are directed particularly to Chapters 1. Citation; 2. Primary Source Material; and 5. Secondary Source Material. These chapters, which deal with the fundamentals of legal research, are written in a clear and readable style, and contain many useful insights. In particular a knowledge of them would enable the reader to gain a mastery over the detailed requirements of legislation, law reports and the more in-depth knowledge of these topics in the particular jurisdictions set out in the other chapters. Although the authors have integrated the various forms of electronic data retrieval throughout the text, they have still retained in the final chapter a comprehensive list of Non-Commercial Internet Addresses for legal Research. The value of the book lies in establishing a feeling of confidence in the reader who might be involved with legal research for the first time. To those who are experienced in legal research this new edition will still serve as both a useful aide-memoire and stimulation for the conduct of their future research. - Emeritus Professor David Barker AM, Editor, Legal Education Digest, 54 Vol 17 No 1, March 2009
