Six Ways To Find Cases, Lee A. Ryan

The slideshow is the basis for seven short "flipped-classroom"-style videos on six ways to find cases relevant to a client's problem or issue. The slideshow covers these six tools and techniques for finding cases: secondary sources; annotated codes; tables of authorities; Shepard's and KeyCite; the West Key Number System (the West Digests); and full-text keyword searching of case law databases. It is accompanied by a brief overview (in Word format), which is also available via my Selected Works site.
