PL 205-- Legal Research
In class today, Tuesday 12/11, I handed
back the drafts of the memos. We discussed some of the things to look
for as you write the memos. For your Research Notes, you do not need to
follow all the dead ends--just the research paths that were productive.
In terms of Keyciting the cases that you cite in your memo, you need to
make sure that the cases are still good law, but you do not need to
look up any Citing References if you have already found all of the
cases that you need. The memos and their Research Notes are due on
Thursday. Any outstanding Research projects are due on the day of the
final, Tuesday 12/18. On Thursday 12/13, we will have a review for the
final exam.
