The Basic Research Process Review client facts and evidence. Review secondary sources. Is the matter statute or common-law based? If statute based, locate current consolidation of statute and any regulations. If common-law based,locate relevant case law. Note up all case law.

Lets Try the Research Process! Locating Secondary Sources. The "Why": The "Why": Articling principles will often ask student researchers to find case law relevant to the client's matter. This is the crux of most research projects. This is where secondary sources can assist. They often summarize law for us and provide footnotes to relevant cases.

Lets Try it! Locating Secondary Sources. To Do: To Do: Look at the facts sheet from this morning. Review the fact and issue questions that you drafted. From these, what are three key terms that we could use to search for secondary sources that could summarize this area of law?

Key Terms liability and (highway or road) and (pony or horse)

Lets Try it! Using the CED. Using the Canadian Encyclopedic Digest part our online subscription to Westlaw Edge Canada. *the CED is just one of the many secondary sources of legal information -great to start with but do not cite to (instead go to the sources it references)
