Attorney Stephen Elias has collaborated with Susan Levinkind (law librarian at the Santa Clara County Superior Court of California) to fully update this twelfth edition of Legal Research: How To Find & Understand The Law. A no-nonsense guide for lay readers and legal professionals alike, Legal Research covers how to find accurate answers on the Internet (not necessarily an easy task given how much legal misinformation floods cyberspace, not to mention everywhere else), how to write a legal memorandum, how to develop one's research skills, step-by-step examples of a sound legal research method, and much more. Especially recommended for law students, paralegals and legal assistants, but also an extremely useful tool for the lay reader seeking to understand as much as he or she can about a complex legal problem before visiting an attorney who charges by the hour.
