Abstract

Written for the ABA's Student Lawyer magazine, this column examines Restatements and their value to legal researchers. A product of an enormous amount of time, effort, and expertise, Restatements can be highly influential in the courts. Legal researchers should be familiar with Restatements and what they offer. This column examines the basics of Restatements, including some of the difficulties in researching them on WestlawNext and Lexis Advance.
