1. ⁠Make sure you fully understand the issue you’re researching. Ask questions if you’re confused. If you find some research that raises more questions, follow up with the assignor to ensure you’re going in the right direction. Nothing worse than getting a memo that misunderstood the question. Check if this is a full memo or just a short email.
2. ⁠If it’s a general procedural issue or state law issue, try googling it. Many firms have blog posts analyzing these things. 
3. ⁠Look for treatise to make sure you understand the issue generally. Rutter for federal, Witkin for California, and other specialties for certain practices (IP). This will help you understand the issue but might not get you many cases in your jurisdiction.
4. ⁠Run an AI-assisted search on Westlaw. It isn’t great, do NOT trust its summary, but do review the cases it gives you.
5. ⁠At this point you should have gathered a few cases on or adjacent to the issue. If there’s a specific sentence of an opinion that is on point, check the cases that cite that opinion and filter for a portion of the quote you’re looking for. This will give you other cases that address the issue. If there’s filter doesn’t show much, open the cases that cite your case, control f for the name of your case, and see what other courts are saying about this.
6. ⁠You should always be saving PDFs of the relevant cases you’re finding. Sucks to read a good case, westlaw expires, and you can’t find it again.
7. ⁠Use the highlighter tool on the PDFs to highlight the relevant quotes or issues. Will make it easier to re-review these later so you can get to the facts.
8. ⁠Throughout all this, have a word doc open and copy and paste the relevant quotes you’re finding and the case name. This is where all the key points you’re seeing are saved.
9. ⁠Try boolean searches on certain words you’re seeing courts use in the opinions you’ve collected or the outcome you’re looking for. For example: ((Dismiss /5 grant!) and “fair use”), or (summary /5 (deny or denie*) and “fair credit reporting act”), etc. Filter results as needed. 
10. ⁠Draft the memo/email. Put your answer on top. Assess what the end product should be. Bullet points of good cases? Facts of your case analyzed to the caselaw (this is probably good to have even if you’re not asked to do it).
11. ⁠Include the bad stuff too. Don’t want to make it seem like your client’s facts are great when courts have come down in different ways.
12. ⁠Stay within your jurisdiction first. Expand to others after if necessary. Always browse the SCOTUS and circuit cases in your search hits if there aren’t many cases to look at. Don’t read the whole opinion; control f for the content you’re looking for. Also the reported cases too; partners like binding precedent and published cases.
13. ⁠If your search results are pulling up more than 15 cases, you need to narrow it further with terms. You shouldn’t have to be digging through more than 15 cases unless you’re really not finding your answer.

I hope this helps. I had free WiFi on this flight and some time to kill.

it feels like my heart is overflowing with love. it’s almost painful to lay every night with nowhere for it to go. i just want to pour it into the next person. but i have to be so cautious. they have to deserve it. pouring it into another who doesn’t reciprocate the same frequency will be detrimental. i am in a city of 8 million feeling like a satellite lost in space searching for connection. 5/7/25
