Overview

The ability to use a law library is central to any lawyer's effectiveness, yet is often treated as peripheral. This book is designed for the law student and will provide a grounding in legal research which will be useful for lecturers and future employers. It not only describes the tools of the lawyers trade - the literature of law for England and Wales and the European Communities - but also the techniques for using these sources effectively. It adopts two novel approaches which make it easy to use. Firstly, information about each type of legal publication is presented under standard headings, and secondly, diagrams and charts are provided where possible to outline the content of publications. It also explains how to use electronic databases, both remote online such as Lexis and CD-ROM. The text gives advice on using a law library and how to make effective use of catalogues and indexes. Its practical approach will help students, undertake particular research problems and it shows how to record and present the results of research in projects and dissertations. Although primarily intended for law students, the book will also appeal to recently qualified lawyers who are occasionally faced with unfamiliar research problems.
