(A time-tested, proven introduction, The Process of Legal ...)
A time-tested, proven introduction, The Process of Legal Research acquaints students with all of the sources and relevant vocabulary and shows how each source works, how to combine sources into a cohesive research process, and how to resolve legal problems through effective techniques. Extensive illustrations and examples quickly engage students in actual research problems, as the text carefully demonstrates how research and writing are interrelated processes. The authors focus on teaching the best research practices, illustrating how to choose the appropriate source and media for each type of problem. Electronic research is completely integrated into the text. Students are given solid guidance for every type of situation, learning when and how to choose between paper and electronic research, and how the choice among different media can result in different access means, scope, and currency of materials. The Process of Legal Research offers extensive, well-researched problems sets, ideal for large programs that need plenty of exercise options for their students. Pages with problems sets are perforated for easy use. The Eighth Edition finds a sharper focus on the basics, asking and answering the questions, "What are the various forms of legal authority?" and "How does each contribute to resolving a client's legal problem?" A greater emphasis on how to choose the optimal research options for various authorities includes a mix of print and online as well as public and commercial resources. Each chapter includes a table of optimal research options. The Eighth Edition skillfully interweaves smaller employment law problems faced by a firm throughout the text, rather than the single mega-problem of previous editions, and new flow-chart style charts illuminate much of the denser text. Citations are covered in citation boxes, reflecting both the Bluebook and ALWD. In a leaner writing style designed appeal to modern students, the Eighth Edition confronts some of the most current hot topics, such as how people think about research today and what firms find wanting in new lawyers research abilities. Hallmark features: • Provides a complete introduction to the process of legal research • • the sources and vocabulary of legal research • how each source works • how to combine sources into a research process • how to resolve legal problems through effective research techniques • Extensive illustrations and examples of actual research problems • Teaches the best research practices • how to choose the appropriate source and media for various types of problems • Integrates electronic research • discusses when and how to choose between paper and electronic research • shows how the choice among media results in different access means, scope, and currency of materials • Includes extensive, well-researched problems sets

This law school textbook uses precisely crafted problems, allowing students to actively parse the language of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) themselves, rather than relying more passively on cases or explanatory text. Cases and other material are included when necessary to furnish rules or interpretations not derivable by students' own reading and analysis. The book also incorporates relevant material from Articles 1 and 7, and from related statutes such as Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign), and an assignment on the economic loss doctrine.

This new book offers a fresh approach to teaching the law of sales of goods. Through precisely crafted problems, the book guides students through their own close textual analysis of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code and then invites them to test their understanding by applying the Code to complex fact situations. Students learn how the Code works by actively parsing the language themselves and exploring the interpretational difficulties presented, rather than relying more passively on cases or explanatory text, which are included here only when necessary to furnish rules or interpretations not derivable by students' own close reading and analysis. With a primary focus on Article 2, the book also incorporates relevant material from Articles 1 and 7, and from related statutes such as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign). It concludes with an assignment on the economic loss doctrine and the relationship between Article 2 claims and tort liability. The text teaches the doctrinal content of the law of sales of goods, while concurrently building students' skills in reading statutes critically and constructing legal solutions to complex problems. The format keeps students actively engaged in analyzing statutory provisions and formulating answers. They will emerge from the process with a deep understanding of the Code, and with the skill to read any statute---including any amendments to Article 2---more effectively. The book is accompanied by a Teachers' Manual containing the authors' solutions for each of the problems in the text. If the Article 2 revision process results in the adoption of amendments to Article 2, a supplement will be available with additional problems based on the new provisions.
