Once again, Brandon D. Quarles and Matthew C. Cordon of Baylor Law School have compiled a practical work that will aid not only law students, but also the 71,000 attorneys who practice law in Texas and the many thousands of additional individuals who research the state's laws. Previously titled Legal Research for the Texas Practitioner, the second edition is now called Researching Texas Law.
 
Performing research on Texas law has been a challenging task for practitioners over the years due to the State's unique legal system.  In practically every area of legal research, the resources and the nature of legal authority in Texas  differ from what is typically covered by the major legal research textbooks. Examples are plentiful - a bifurcated appellate system for civil and criminal cases; a seemingly endless process of codifying statutes into subject matter codes; nonconsecutive numbering of the titles of the state's administrative code; and many others.
 
Researching Texas Law focuses on the types of resources and research processes commonly encountered by modern-day practitioners.  The work utilizes instructional materials from the authors' courses in Legal Analysis, Research, and Communications and Advanced Legal Research and covers both the basic skills that are needed to perform legal research in the day-to-day practice of law - such as case law research, statutory research, and administrative research - and more involved areas such as jury instructions, briefs and records, and attorneys general opinions.
 
In addition, Researching Texas Law contains a guide to citation of legal resources and contact information for legal publishers and Texas law libraries to further assist the researcher.  A comprehensive index and a list of tables that directs users to the 15 charts contained within the book also add value to this indispensable legal research guide, which is a must for all Texas practitioners and an invaluable addition to any basic legal research collection!
