Editor's Introduction
On the present issue.
This issue presents three focused Research Notes on reading legal sources: checking an online claim, reading a statutory provision in context, and using a treatise to locate and examine primary authority.
The notes introduce the Society’s research method in an accessible form. They distinguish official research-guide descriptions from RLS’s educational recommendations and give readers sources they can examine for themselves.
