I keep this book next to my PC and use it a lot when I am doing research. It's easy to find quick, consise answers to my research questions using the index. Well organized and thorough.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is awful!, September 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Computer-Assisted Legal Research Unplugged: The User-Friendly Guide to Lexis-Nexis and Westlaw (Paperback)

I can't imagine why anyone would give this book as high a rating as it's received from the other raters because this is one of the worst CALR books I have ever read.

You can do much better simply by using the materials available from the online providers (LEXIS and WL).

If you're looking for a book on computer assisted legal research, there are several good ones available on this site. Basic legal research books are also a great place to start. Additionally, the ABA publishes some great books on the subject (and they are available on this site) That said, I'd suggest staying away from any and all CALR books with cute names like this one. If anything, the cute names should be a warning sign...don't go there!
