Legal Research

In a recent oral argument in the case of Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting Justice Kennedy is quoted as saying he would "look in Corpus Juris Secundum or ALR or something" to help clear up a question about "licensing." While it might have been nice if Justice Kennedy had included a source other than those published by West Publishing, it is good to see that a) Supreme Court Justices still do some of their own research and b) that they turn to secondary sources to save time and trouble. We await the day when one of the Justices says he or she will "just Google it."
