Big Research Hint

By Rebekah

Here’s another one from the Department of Things You Shouldn’t Have to Be Told:”  Don’t rely on cases that do not contain the propositions that you are arguing before the court. A California appeals court found it necessary to make this point when one of its parties did just that. Read all about it in Miscione v. Barton Dev. Co., 61 Cal. Rptr. 2d 280 (Cal. Ct. App. 1997).  Use the party names or citation as a search query in your search engine of choice – or use the citation information for easy access to a print source.
