The authors start out with a brief review of the basic legal research process and legal analysis and end with the research strategies to become an effective and efficient researcher.......Iowa Legal Research contains reprints of sample pages and screenshots from mentioned sources to assist readers with understanding the concepts. Tables, charts and figures are used to supplement the discussion.
