One of the classes that we teach for legal research is on
Practice Materials. This includes items such as form books,
court rules, loose-leaf services, publications put out by
continuing legal education associations, treatises and
restatements. When discussing these materials are there
things that you feel must be told to students about them?
Any stories about how this items were more useful than you
might have guessed?
For attorneys and law librarians, what research materials
do you keep on your desk because it is so useful and
important?
I have a prepared presentation on all the materials that I
have mentioned. I have just found that by asking this
diverse group for input I often get great bits of
information to add to my presentation. Students are much
more attentive when I can give them examples from the real
world and ways that others have found certain materials
useful. So if you have a great story of how a praticular
practice material has really come through for you, I would
love to hear about it.
Thank You
