Library research is alive and well, notes business lawyer Richard Kranitz in new article

GRAFTON, Wis. - Jan. 15, 2019 - PRLog -- Today in 2019, the internet has become inescapable and envelopes many of our daily activities. Despite the omnipresent technology, library research is still required of lawyers, especially in business matters, explains Richard A. Kranitz (https://solomonlawguild.com/richard-a-kranitz-esq) in his most recent article. The article has been published on his blog at https://richardkranitzblog.blogspot.com/

Business matters go hand-in-hand with assets, thus business lawyers in this field must be particularly careful. As convenient as online research may have become, in many instances that is not good enough for business law research. Even today, many business matters are handled in hardcopy (meaning on printed paper rather than electronically).

Without a doubt, legal research requires a lot more concentration and diligence than other types of research due to the different conclusions that are possible with minor tweaking. In fact, in many cases you may not find a single answer, but several different ones. What's more, since there's a lot more material that you need to go through when it comes to legal research, you need to be absolutely certain that your sources are not only credible and authoritative, but also relevant to the problem at hand.

Here is a simple but very effective piece of advice: Ask a Librarian before wasting time searching through a library yourself. In the past, to do research, a law student would head over to the law library and ask a Librarian for help. Today, that might strike many lawyers as, well, outdated. The fact is that librarians know the library better than anybody, and if you are looking for something specific, a simple question to a librarian may save you hours of wasted time.

With that said, while there are certain common and extremely popular steps that are generally followed by anyone who wishes to conduct legal research, it's important to note that these steps may or may not be followed in a sequential fashion for each scenario. This essentially means that while certain scenarios may require you to follow the steps listed below in the exact order, you may choose to play around for other cases – and that will not affect the results of your research.

Before you start conducting legal research, it's important for you to know that you will be expected to revisit certain sources of information for increased clarity. What's more, you might even be expected to check certain sources of information a number of times due to exceptions. Even in the case of exceptions, you will have to double-check whether the conditions of the exception apply to your particular case, and if there is any way that the exception can be worked around for your particular scenario.
