Notas del editor

  1. Trial Court decisions interpretation and application of the law does not bind any other court, appellate courts bind lower courts Suggestsion: Read as much as you can, read the cases in full and outline them, if you want to pull back or use alternative methods to study do it later once you have mastered the standard technique. Read a US supreme court case in FULL after your first or second semester.
  2. Legal publishing, consolidation. Lexis Nexis Academic Search Premier/Congressional. Hourly rates can be 50-150 of your hourly rate. In big firms it is often cheaper to have associates search print than use electronic. Summer interns running up bills.
  3. Tend to be student run and reviewed publications.
  4. “ Treatise ” is really a fancy word for “book”. Generally, a book that discusses a particular legal topic at some length and depth. Looseleafs – generally, a set on a given topic that’s frequently updated. Restatements – influential treatises that describe the law in a given area and guides its development.
