The UNC Law Library’s own Julie L.
Kimbrough is a co-author of the newly published third edition of North
Carolina Legal Research with Brenda D. Gibson, Laura P. Graham, and
Nichelle J. Perry.
This text provides legal research instruction for an audience
ranging from law students to laypersons to practitioners. After beginning with
legal research foundations and process, the authors explain research
sources and strategies for secondary sources, statutory law, administrative
law, and case law.
North Carolina Legal Research can be read cover-to-cover
or used as a reference for a particular research question. While it focuses on
North Carolina resources, the text also provides instruction for conducting
research in other jurisdictions.
Some highlights of this new edition are the updated charts
for the North Carolina court system and North Carolina legislative process.
Each chapter ends with key takeaways for the reader in a “Tools for the Toolbox”
segment. The book concludes with a full chapter devoted to legal citation that highlights
how to properly cite North Carolina resources.
North Carolina Legal Research is written in a clear,
concise manner that makes it easy to read and easy to digest the large amount
of material being conveyed to the reader. This update to the Legal Research Series published by
Carolina Academic Press is sure to be a valuable addition for the UNC Law Library, as well as for law students and attorneys throughout the
state of North Carolina.
