RIPS-SIS Legal Research Text Annotated Bibliography
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. - 2011 Version (PDF)
