1. GUIDEBOOK ON LEGAL RESEARCH
AND THESIS WRITING
By Prof. Alvin T. Claridades
This book provides
certain guideposts in the
conduct of legal research
as well as the specific
sources of legitimate
primary and secondary
information that every
researcher can readily
access and cite in his
work.
It also includes some of
the tools and devices
which may be utilized in
the conduct of legal
research such as printed materials, software programs with
searchable compendium of laws and jurisprudence, online
legal resources and search engines, and a listing of law
libraries which researchers can go to, among others.
The guidebook likewise covers the basic parameters that
can immensely aid our law students in thesis-writing -- a
requisite under the new Juris Doctor curriculum -- in
accordance with the generally accepted forms and structure
of such research study and consistent with a well-defined
roadmap that will lead to a research and evidence-based
conclusion.
