Advanced Legal Research

Generally, there are two types of case law research:

1. Determining the case law that is binding or persuasive regarding a particular issue. Gathering and analyzing the relevant case law. 
2. Searching for a specific case that applies the law to a set of facts in a particular way. 

These are two slightly different tasks. However, you can use many of the same case law search techniques for both of these types of questions. 

This guide outlines several different ways to locate case law. It is up to you to determine which methods are most suitable for your problem.
