So you’ve decided to do some legal research….

First off, you should know that this guide won’t make legal research fun or fast or easy. Legal research is boring and  tedious and nothing can change that.   The best you can hope for is to plug along long enough that you eventually can get an unfortunate law student such as yourself to do your research for you.

What this guide can do is make legal research cheap. Free, as a matter of fact.
