[Margaret Schachte]

Helpful but not enjoyable. I was reading this book for a class and am honestly just impressed that I finished it.

Again, class about killed me. But, bless that professor.

Out of all of the books I have had to read for school, this has been the most boring and useless. I stopped reading half way through the class because there was zero helpful information in this. This book simply goes over basics for legal research which is not entirely different then normal research and therefore if you have done any research at all in your past, this is not necessary. The only helpful information was on Shepardizing/Keyciting cases which in the end, the professor explained better and still didn't need this book....

ACTUAL RATING: 3.5

[sologdin]

books on legal research really won't be much assistance. one needs to go to law library and learn the stacks. and then promptly forget the law library and learn internet legal research because that's what everybody does now.

[Kersten]

Liked that it included screenshots (for those who either don't have access to the material or aren't doing the steps while they're reading), flowcharts and the checklists at the end of the chapters that pretty much summarized everything. As with most textbooks though, it was still a little dry.

a timeless classic...
