Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 12th, 2012 9:37 PM Author: Ocher Fiercely-loyal Sanctuary Fanboi I almost always feel unsure about whether I found the right answer when I do research assignments and half the time it takes forever to find a case that even tangentially talks about something similar to what the partner wants.

Date: April 12th, 2012 10:02 PM Author: Ocher Fiercely-loyal Sanctuary Fanboi Glad I am not the only one. Sometimes the way they ask for something, you'd think there would be 30 cases on it. And yet there is nothing or I am inept when it comes to west law or both (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1922587&forum_id=2#20450225) |

Date: April 12th, 2012 10:06 PM Author: chartreuse free-loading regret associate usually I try to find something that REMOTELY relates to what the partners ask, and email them with something like "I didn't find XXX, but I did see a case that say XXXY..."

Date: April 12th, 2012 10:07 PM Author: Ocher Fiercely-loyal Sanctuary Fanboi What is the optimal way? I use westlawnext, type something pretty general and then experiment with search within a search (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1922587&forum_id=2#20450250) |
