Generally, one of the most important factors that establish the veracity
of particular facts is the evidence adduced to support such facts. Just
as a lawyer in a court of law is required to adduce evidence to support
his or her statement of fact, a legal research is required to provide the
relevant details, sources, and references to justify any statement or
submission made during the course of a research. Therefore, legal
research and legal citation are two important aspects of legal method
that are closely related.
This chapter provides an introduction to legal research and gives
step-by-step guidelines on how to conduct research as greenhorns in
the legal field. At the end of the chapter the student should be able to:
(1) Explain what constitutes legal research in the study of law;
(2) Understand the relationship between legal research and legal
method;
(3) Acquire the ability to identify the different types of legal research;
(4) Understand the relevance and types of legal citations; and
(5) Conduct a successful legal research. |
