Legal Research, Writing And Analysis (University Casebook Series)

Aimed at first year law students, this text teaches the skills necessary to determine legal questions from a given situation or set of facts, to research the law that addresses those questions, and to analyze the existing law. Murray (U. of Illinois College of Law) and DeSanctis (George Washington U. Law School) also teach communication through legal writing and oral advocacy. This volume duplicates their Legal Research and Writing but excludes the chapters on adversarial legal writing; pretrial motions; motions to dismiss; motions for summary judgment; appellate advocacy; appellate briefs; oral advocacy at pretrial, trial and appellate stages; and strategies for moot court and beyond.
