Legal Research Methods in a Modern WorldA coursebookaf J. Paul Lomio, Henrik Spang-Hanssen m. fl.

This book introduces European legal research methods to Americans and American legal research methods to Europeans and thus makes it possible for them to speak the same language of the law. It is a paramount coursebook on legal research which breaks the oceanic divide. Furthermore, it is the first legal research guide to consider the internationalization and globalization in both the new law school curriculums and the changing practice of law.
