[blindlaw] Research

[Tai Schmittroth]

John,

I know you sent me an electronic copy of the ALWD, but would you be willing
to send me a copy of the bluebook as well. My email address is
tai at canetravel.com. 
Thanks.
Tai

Hello Jim,

I too am going through bar review right now. It is true that you get Westlaw
reward points and they are addicting however, you don't automatically get
them for using the text only database, I had to talk to Katie Haucks about
it. Anyway, to reiterate what Craig said, I too had to initially do manual
research my first year, but my professor saw how unnecessary that was and
made provisions for me to use the electronic resources, and as Tai will see,
you can actually find more on Westlaw than you will ever need.

   As for electronic citations, I had the ALWD and I also have the blue book
in electronic format. I also found using the cassette version of the blue
book time consuming and rather pointless.
