By the time they finish the last assignment, students will have learned how to begin to think about a client's legal problem, and how to find and update relevant law in five major areas: common law, state statutes, federal statutes, administrative law, and secondary resources. The self-instructional technique applied in this textbook resolves a number of long-standing administrative and morale problems associated with introducing students to the fundamentals of legal research, reasoning, and writing.
