One of the most embarrassing moments for a law student, but even more so for an attorney, is citing a case that is directly on point in support of your impassioned argument only to find that it's no longer good law. The switch from binding to persuasive in an argument can be a quick one, but one you want to avoid doing on the spot, if possible. The Legal Research section of FindLaw for Law Students contains helpful guidance for how to more effectively and efficiently conduct legal research. From information on useful publications for law students to resources available on FindLaw and Westlaw, this section is designed to serve as a tool for your success during law school and continuing through your legal career.
