Reviews
"... an extremely useful addition to any undergraduate's or postgraduate's learning support toolkit. The book is an absolutely essential purchase for any University Law library and it should be recommended widely to students." Legal Information Management

"Effective Legal Research is another one of those books that you wished you had bought in your first year of study. Without it, hours of painstaking research will often be spent before fully understanding how to undertake legal research...a must purchase. I just wish that I had been told about this book in my first year!" Student Law Journal
