First Assignment Fall 2015

For our first class on August 27, please do the following:

(1) obtain your required texts (listed below);

(2) read Legal Analysis: The Fundamental Skill, chapters 1 and 2; 

(3) bring Legal Analysis and The Bluebook to class.

Your required texts for the course are as follows:

(1) Romantz & Vinson, Legal Analysis: The Fundamental Skill (2d ed. 2009).

(2) The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (20th ed.).*

(3) Amy E. Sloan & Steven D. Schwinn, Basic Legal Research Workbook (4th ed. 2011).

*Please get a print copy of The Bluebook. Electronic options and rentals will work for the other texts, but an electronic copy won't work for The Bluebook, and it's reference tool you'll want to keep, so rental isn't a good option.
