Legal Research

Anyway, the topic of copywriting legal documents came up a couple of weeks ago, and then it came up again and then again. Today I ran across this article, while looking at a webpage on searching public records, that I linked to from the Law Librarian Blog:

1) Due Diligence in Drafting: Copyrights in Legal Documents, by Thomas J. Stueber. (This article can be found in other online and print publications.)

2) There is also this one: "The Highest Form of Flattery? Application of the Fair Use Defense against Copyright Claims for Unauthorized Appropriation of Litigation Documents," by Davida H. Isaacs, Northern Kentucky University - Salmon P. Chase College of Law, Missouri Law Review, Vol. 71, p. 391, 2006.
