Legal Research, Analysis, and Writing

by William H. Putman

Legal Research, Analysis and Writing addresses the need paralegals have for the knowledge to perform increasingly complex tasks like substantive legal research, analysis and writing tasks. Upon completion of study with this reader-friendly text, paralegal students and law students will know how to conduct statutory research and analysis, conduct case law research and analysis, identify the key facts in a case, conduct counteranalysis, prepare an interoffice memorandum and court brief and much more. The material is presented in a very organized fashion with an initial focus on primary authority and secondary authority. Hypotheticals, examples and assignments in each chapter hold students' interest and require application of principles taught.

[Matthew Christopher]

This book was informational but seemingly incomplete in places. I found myself turning to online resources to fill in the gaps it left in my understanding.
