Summary

This two-DVD set provides viewers with an engaging and fast-paced training resource for developing or brushing up on essential legal research skills. Professor Robert C. Berring instructs students, and other legal professionals, on the ?deep principles? of legal research and applies these principles to practical, real-life situations. Used in conjunction with his monthly podcasts, found at www.berringlegalresearch.com, Berring?s contextual method of legal research can improve and maximize research effectiveness for any legal researcher. Throughout these two DVDs, viewers will learn both where to begin research and, perhaps even more important, how to know when to stop researching. Viewers are also introduced to all of the various resources that researchers have at their disposal. At the same time, Professor Berring tackles the increasingly important questions of how researchers can make sense of and utilize this ever-expanding mountain of available legal information. Finally, to keep this overview manageable, Professor Berring?s DVD points to areas where he will be providing podcasts to bring viewers deeper into the various research tools, as is appropriate for their specific research needs.
