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. Typical?

Lack of guidance and training isn't the exception; it's the norm.

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

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..."

If you're just doing key word searches on Westlaw or Lexis, you're going to waste a lot of time and not find everything.

What is the optimal way? I use westlawnext, type something pretty general and then experiment with search within a search

You either need to use the electronic digest or the printed digests. The cases for every issue are already categorized.

If you use digests properly and can't find an on point case, you should be able to say with a high degree of confidence that such a case does not exist.

Use digests. You don't need to reinvent the wheel.
