Editor's Notes
Research has a beginning and an end -> if you found several (3-5) controlling authorities that agree with each other as to the legal issue at hand, and they are recent enough in time not to give you pause (within the last 30yrs for a highest court/highest controlling authority Legal research can be cyclical Don’t reinvent the wheel Secondary sources as structured finding tools (indexes, catalogs) Secondary sources as legal scholarship Define Secondary Sources
