Oates and Enquist (law and lawyering skills, Seattle U.) provide law students and lawyers with a description of frequently used resources for legal research and how to use sources like Westlaw, WestlawNext, LexisNexis, Lexis Advanced, and free sources, to research issues such as those that are governed by a state statute, federal statutes and regulations, and local ordinances; rules; cite checking; and practice information. Chapters are organized around specific issues rather than sources, and emphasize free and fee-based electronic sources.
