One of the initial challenges for the instructor teaching a basic
legal research course is selecting a textbook. In the past decade the
choices have multiplied dramatically making the task even more
difficult. The texts themselves have expanded to cover an ever-growing
range of topics and features. By presenting reviews of what is
currently on the market, we hope to utilize the accumulated expertise of
RIPS-SIS members to direct potential users to a text that matches their
needs and philosophy. New reviews are added periodically as textbooks
are updated or new titles become available.
