I will have to confess that I do not think that the often irrational
attachment of lawyers to the looseleaf format has much to do with what
they were taught in law school legal research courses. In my own case,
now 13 years out of law school, I have difficulty remembering anything
from my legal research course. Certainly I did not pick up my current
beliefs about the winsome ways of legal publishers there. Rather, it is
part of the lawyer culture, absorbed more than taught.
I mention this only because I do not think we can deal with it by a
slight change in emphasis in legal research courses.
