About This Publication
Sound and thorough legal research is vital to every successful law practice, making the Kentucky Legal Research Manual, 4th ed. (2016) a must-have for every practitioner and legal support staff member. Developed and drafted by Kentucky lawyers and experienced law librarians as the ultimate guide to the print and electronic reference tools available in the Commonwealth, this invaluable desk reference is the most comprehensive guide to the multitude of tools and resources available to those conducting legal research on Kentucky law. It goes well beyond a simple discussion of common legal research approaches and delves into the specifics and intricacies of Kentucky legal research sources. A variety of public and commercial sources of information are identified and critiqued to aid the savvy legal researcher in selecting only the most reliable and up-to-date sources available. This one volume covers both the traditional instruments of legal research – case reporters, digests, citators, and statutory codes – as well as online legal research services and the Internet. It has been designed to not merely explain the tools of legal research, but also to describe the history and operation of the institutions of the Kentucky legal system that create the state’s law – the courts, the legislature, and the regulatory agencies. Fully indexed, 350+ pages.
