Legal Research: A Practitioner's Handbook provides practical advice
on every aspect of effective legal research: problem analysis,
selecting and finding the best sources; and presenting results
effectively. This third edition has been thoroughly updated, taking
into account the increasing popularity of commercial databases
aimed at UK law practitioners; the overhaul of a number of
government and other official sites (national and international);
and significant changes to directions by UK courts relating to the
conduct and presentation of legal research. New material on the use
of social media in legal research, business information and making
use of a law firm's internal precedents has also been added. Part A
covers problem identification and analysis, followed by advice on
how to select the best sources and formats (paper or electronic)
for research. Part B deals with the information most frequently
sought by practitioners, listing sources with analytical comments
and, for a selection of the most complex, 'how to use' instructions
developed to a standard template. Jurisdictional coverage includes
England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the European Union,
with the addition of information on key sources in European human
rights and international law. Part C details sources on how to make
the presentation of the results of legal research more effective.
These three parts are supplemented by Part D, which describes in
non-technical language how a practitioner might get the best value
for money when buying information, whether print or online, from
commercial law publishers. Extensive appendices provide indexes to
abbreviations for Acts, journals and law reports; a glossary of
technical terms used in legal research; a summary of the practice
directions, statements and decisions of the UK courts relating to
legal research; a table of guidance on how to devise more effective
searches on the four most popular commercial databases; and a
popular names index for legislation and cases relating to the UK
and the EU
