Abstract

Professor Bintliff explores the changing context of legal research results occasioned by the shift from the defined and hierarchical legal research world of digests and print resources to the unlimited information available electronically. Basic communication theory is used to understand how the changes affect our shared context.

Keywords: legal research, communication theory, research context, digests, print resources, legal information, electronic information
