LEGAL RESEARCH
Research is all too frequently undervalued and overlooked as a step in the suite of skills neces-
sary for success in the legal profession. Fortunately, however, there is a healthy body of work
devoted to imparting these very skills to busy lawyers, law students, and anyone with an inter-
est in the law. Related topics: LEGAL REASONING, LEGAL WRITING.
RECHERCHE DOCUMENTAIRE
Une des méthodologies nécessaires au travail juridique. La recherche documentaire est en-
visagée ici sous l’angle général, car tout le présent ouvrage contribue à faciliter le travail de
recherche dans les domaines abordés.
