Reviews

“Perfect companion for the legal research required for the GDL and LPC. Should be required pre-course reading. Highly recommended!” 
Customer Review, Amazon.co.uk
 
“This book provides a clear, step-by-step guide to performing legal research. A range of potential sources is considered (e.g. online databases, Halsbury's publications, case listings, journals and textbooks), with suggestions as to how each should be used to optimise search results. Very useful to keep with one whenever conducting legal research particularly for those, like me, who are just beginning a career in law.”  
Dr. William A. Evans (Oxford, UK), Amazon.co.uk
