Book Description
Missouri Legal Research Workbook is designed to accompany Missouri Legal Research. Part I of this workbook includes self-guided tours of the law library. They are designed to help the novice legal researcher become familiar with legal sources by examining those sources in a directed manner. Using a problem-solving approach, each tour shows the student various features of legal authority in the context of a specific legal issue. Each tour leads the student through the finding tools and the authority by using the three approaches to legal research detailed in Missouri Legal Research. New to the second edition is the integration of print and electronic sources within each tour. This assists students in obtaining a better understanding of how legal researchers use different media for different purposes and at different points in their research plan. At the end of each tour is a tour check-up that highlights critical information from that tour. These check-ups focus on bibliographic features of the authority and on when the authority should be used in a research plan. Part II of the workbook contains research exercises. The predominant focus of the exercises is Missouri and federal research sources. Using this workbook gives the student practice in researching Missouri statutes, Missouri case law, Missouri administrative law, and Missouri secondary sources in addition to federal sources. This workbook includes six exercises for each primary authority, for secondary sources, and for federal legislative history. Each research exercise focuses on incorporating print and electronic sources. Additional online exercises focus on using citators, using free-access online sources, choosing databases, and constructing search queries. This book is part of the Legal Research Series, edited by Suzanne E. Rowe, Director of Legal Research and Writing, University of Oregon School of Law.

Book Description
In 1987 Judge Russell Clark mandated tax increases to help pay for improvements to the Kansas City, Missouri, School District in an effort to lure white students and quality teachers back to the inner-city district. Yet even after increasing employee salaries and constructing elaborate facilities at a cost of more than $2 billion, the district remained overwhelmingly segregated and student achievement remained far below national averages. Just eight years later the U.S. Supreme Court began reversing these initiatives, signifying a major retreat from Brown v. Board of Education. In Kansas City, African American families opposed to the district court's efforts organized a takeover of the school board and requested that the court case be closed. Joshua Dunn argues that Judge Clark's ruling was not the result of tyrannical "judicial activism" but was rather the logical outcome of previous contradictory Supreme Court doctrines. High Court decisions, Dunn explains, necessarily limit the policy choices available to lower court judges, introducing complications the Supreme Court would not anticipate. He demonstrates that the Kansas City case is a model lesson for the types of problems that develop for lower courts in any area in which the Supreme Court attempts to create significant change. Dunn's exploration of this landmark case deepens our understanding of when courts can and cannot successfully create and manage public policy.

Book Description
"The Murray and DeSanctis titles are designed for the current generation of law students whose familiarity and comfort with on-line and computer-based learning create a demand for teaching resources that take advantage of that familiarity and comfort level. Legal Research Methods provides a process-based text covering all aspects of first year legal analysis and research. This book focuses on legal research tools and the theory and practice of legal research written from a practitioner's perspective. It discusses planning for research and performing research, and provides criteria for determining when you are finished with your research. It has sample research plans for tight budgets in terms of time or expense, and its process-oriented methodology is designed to maximize research results in the most economical ways. Paired with the book is an electronic, computer-based version of the text that adds links to on-line databases and internet-based resources and supplements the text with pop-up definitions from Black's Law Dictionary. The electronic version of the text is searchable and highly portable, with internal and external navigation links, making them more valuable for use in class and out. The interactive text employs a layout that departs from the traditional, all-text casebook format through use of callout text boxes, diagrams, and color/border segregated feature sections for hypotheticals, references to scholarly debates, or other useful information for law students."--Publisher's website.
