Last month I posed the following question, the answers to which will
eventually be summarized in my column appearing in Perspectives: Teaching
Legal Research & Writing (in the Fall 1993 issue). I am still interested in
responses so I present it one more time:
"Bob Berring says that 'it is easier to instruct second- and third-year
students because they have context and vocabulary.' How can you successfully
teach legal research to first-year students in spite of these knowledge
deficiencies?"
Feel free to share even just a few sentences with me on this topic. (By the
way, if you think it is not possible to overcome these deficiencies, don't
hesitate to say that too.)
Thanks for your help.
