Book Reviews of Berring's Legal Research Survival Manual (American Casebook Series and Other Coursebooks)

Book Review: Remarkably useful! 1L must have, techniques that will improve any lawyer's research skillset
Summary: 5 Stars

Berring has condensed what is essentially a legal research philosophy into text and it manages to capture some of his humor fairly well. This is mostly about an approach to legal research and a first-time legal researcher's best friend - his discussion of research ranges from completely practical and focused on methods, to Britney Spears hypos, to leads on any number of areas of legal research topics. I read it again after beginning my first job after law school and came away with a new appreciation for how helpful it really was.

Berring is highly recommended, as a professor, accomplice, and writer - this is an excellent resource.

Summary of Berring's Legal Research Survival Manual (American Casebook Series and Other Coursebooks)

This text provides a basic introduction to legal information and legal research. Designed for first-semester, first-year law students, provides a readable introduction to what first-year students need to know. This work does not provide comprehensive coverage of legal materials, and is not designed to replace traditional legal texts. Instead, it seeks to provide an easy-to-read introduction for the new law student.
