1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible textbook , November 23, 2007

By	Calculus Logi "(future attorney)" (Southern California) - See all my reviews

I'm a paralegal student at a California State University and we used this textbook for our legal research class. This book provided virtually *no* actual information as to *how* to conduct legal research. It provided knowledge of the theory of research, and had an acceptable explanation of primary/secondary and mandatory/persuasive authority, but that's about it.

The only reason why I came out of that class with any understanding of legal research was going to the local law library and having the librarians help me through it (and they were incredibly patient, helpful, and understanding).

If you are in a class that uses this textbook, God help you. You will benefit far more by speaking to other students who might know about research, or just going into a law library and asking for help there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource!, February 10, 2008

By	Daniel Hassinger "Dan" (Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is an absolute must for law students or anyone engaging in the process of legal research and writing. I am first year law student and this book is my go-to for any question I have about the research process. This book was recommended for my course, but not required. So many law students only buy the required books. Some feel the supplemental material is just a waste of money. Don't make that mistake with this book, you can use it throughout your career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, Helpful & Easy to Read, March 15, 2006

By	Donna Martin "Donna" (Los Altos, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Basic Legal Research: Tools and Strategies (Legal Research and Writing) (Paperback)

I've used this book for the past few months and have been pleasantly surprised by how well it is organized, and how easy it is to understand. The author writes in a clear, straightforward manner and covers all of the pertinant topics.
