9. WESTLAW RESEARCH PRACTICE
Lesson Three – Locating Relevant Case Law Using Secondary
Authority
Objectives: A simple research process technique.
Directions: Read the following fact patterns
1. Your client, Dreamy McSteamy is a popular motocross driver
known far and wide for his long black hair, dangerous dark
eyes, and zebra-striped motorcycle emblazoned with a purple
number 7. Recently, a movie studio released an animated
children’s film featuring a handsome, smooth-talking, purple
leopard-spotted motorcycle, with the number 7 prominently
displayed on the gas tank. McSteamy wishes to file a claim
against the studio on the grounds that the film’s “star” bears an
uncanny likeness to McSteamy’s public image, and hence,
violates his right of publicity.
i. Locate and correctly cite relevant secondary authority
ii. Provide your exact search query – Include database id
iii. State the legal issue/s involved after studying the
information therein
iv. Locate an on point case from an Oklahoma State Court
v. Does the case appear to work for or against your client?
2. Fozze Bear, stands convicted for the heinous murder of Miss
Piggy. Your supervising attorney is filing an appeal based, in
part, on negative comments made by the prosecutor regarding
Mr. Bear. Apparently, prosecution referred to the defendant as
“evil-doer” and a “son of the Devil” during her closing
arguments. On this issue, your office asserts prosecutorial
misconduct. The respondent counter-argues that counsel for the
defense opened the door to these characterizations when, in his
own closing argument, he stated that, “certainly, whoever
committed this act is a devil’s spawn.”
i. Locate and correctly cite relevant secondary authority
ii. Provide your exact search query – Include database id
iii. State the legal issue/s involved after studying the
information therein
10. iv. Locate an on point case from the 3rd Circuit of the US Court
of Appeals
v. Review the Court’s Holdings and the relevant headnote from
the opinion. Does the case appear to work for or against your
client?
3. Clair DeLoon was one of five current roommates in a house
where tenants are continually moving in and moving out. An
unknown past tenant vacated the premises, leaving behind a
VCR and a collection of campy video tapes, frequently enjoyed
by later groups of select tenants. When it came time for Clair to
move on to more a more luxurious living space, she took the
VCR and tape collection with her. One of the remaining tenants
has filed a complaint with the police on the grounds that the
items did not belong to Clair. Clair is being charged with theft.
i. Locate and correctly cite relevant secondary authority
ii. Provide your exact search query – Include database id
iii. State the legal issue/s involved after studying the
information
iv. Discuss the arguments supporting Clair’s conviction, as well
as arguments that can be raised in her defense.
v. Correctly cite one case supporting each of the arguments
provided above.
