Evaluating Shepard’S, Keycite, And Bcite For Case Validation Accuracy, Paul Hellyer
Evaluating Shepard’S, Keycite, And Bcite For Case Validation Accuracy, Paul Hellyer
Library Staff Publications
This study evaluates and compares how accurately three legal citators (Shepard’s, KeyCite, and BCite) identify negative treatment of case law, based on a review of 357 citing relationships that at least one citator labeled as negative. In this sample, Shepard’s and KeyCite missed or mislabeled about one-third of negative citing relationships, while BCite missed or mislabeled over two-thirds. The citators’ relative performance is less clear when examining the most serious citator errors, examples of which can be found in all three citators.

The Corpus Juris Civilis: A Guide To Its History And Use, Frederick W. Dingledy
The Corpus Juris Civilis: A Guide To Its History And Use, Frederick W. Dingledy
Library Staff Publications
The Corpus Juris Civilis is indispensable for Roman law research. It is a vital pillar of modern law in many European nations, and influential in other countries. Scholars and lawyers still refer to it today. This valuable publication, however, may seem impenetrable at first, and references to it can be hard to decipher or detect. This guide provides a history of the Corpus Juris Civilis and the forms it has taken, states why it is still an important resource today, and offers some tips and tools for research using it.

How Librarians Can Help Improve Law Journal Publishing, Benjamin J. Keele, Michelle Pearse
How Librarians Can Help Improve Law Journal Publishing, Benjamin J. Keele, Michelle Pearse
Library Staff Publications
Librarians are well positioned to improve law journal publishing and help it evolve in the ever-changing digital environment. They can provide student editors with advice on a variety of issues such as copyright, data preservation, and version control. Librarians can also help journals adopt technical standards and improve the discoverability and usability of journal content. While few libraries will be able to adopt all these suggestions, a checklist of ideas is provided to help librarians select those that are most suitable to their libraries and journals.

Splitting Hairs: What Subtle Distinctions Teach Us About Authority, Benjamin J. Keele
Splitting Hairs: What Subtle Distinctions Teach Us About Authority, Benjamin J. Keele
Library Staff Publications
Legal researchers constantly deal with issues of authority. Did the police have authority to search the car? Is this court of appeals decision binding authority on my case? What statutes are authoritative in my jurisdiction? These questions are important, and librarians often help find answers. The question of authority that librarians are best equipped to answer, however, is “How authoritative is this source?”

Free Websites For Virginia Legal Research, Paul Hellyer
Free Websites For Virginia Legal Research, Paul Hellyer
Library Staff Publications
It’s no secret that free websites give away content sold by high-cost subscription databases, but you might not know how useful free sites are. If you think there’s always a trade-off between cost and quality, think again. Some free resources for Virginia legal research are as good as—or better than—subscription sites. And some free resources aren’t quite as good as what you can buy, but are an option.

Copyright And Research In Google Book Search, Benjamin J. Keele
Library Staff Publications
Many researchers—even trained professionals—often use the Google search engine to begin searches for information. Google’s many products enable researchers to search public websites, scholarly articles, and even patents. One vast area of information not yet thoroughly indexed by Google is print books. Google Book Search (also at times referred to as Google Books, Google Print and Google Library Project) is the company’s effort to digitize and index the world’s print literature.

Assessing The Influence Of Computer-Assisted Legal Research: A Study Of California Supreme Court Opinions, Paul Hellyer
Assessing The Influence Of Computer-Assisted Legal Research: A Study Of California Supreme Court Opinions, Paul Hellyer
Library Staff Publications
Mr. Hellyer reviews the literature regarding CALR and identifies several hypotheses regarding quantitative differences in the results of print-based research and CALR. He then analyzes California Supreme Court opinions to determine CALR's effect on the quantity, recency, and types of legal authority cited by the court. The data fail to support the commentator's hypotheses.
