More aboutResearching the Law: Finding What You Need When You Need It, the Fourth Edition guides students through a decidedly contemporary approach to legal research. Widely respected author Amy E. Sloan presents legal research as a process of efficiently filtering a vast quantity of available information. Simply put, students learn how to locate and identify the most pertinent and authoritative information available with the greatest possible expedience. Sloan's clear, concise explanations of essential research sources are presented in a context that speaks to the way lawyers do research today, with a flexible approach that works in a rapidly changing research environment. Part I explains how to define a research question; pre-filter content before beginning a search; conduct research using a variety of search techniques and establish post-search criteria for filtering results. Part II describes essential features of individual sources of authority and search strategies unique to each source. Part III contains research flowcharts to help students plan research strategies for different types of research projects.

Bundle also includes Artificial Intelligence and Academic Integrity, First Edition, which is Aspen’s concise primer intended to increase student awareness of the protocols, possibilities, and ethical implications of using AI systems in their legal education studies, while also giving professors assurance that their students are informed of the same.
