Internet Investigative Research
June 2007
Internet Investigative Research
A lawyer's research involves much more than just finding cases and statutes. Legal professionals also need to unearth background and investigative information. In a recent decision, a court was incredulous that the plaintiff failed to “Google®” the missing defendant as part of his due diligence process and upheld the defendant's claims of insufficient service of process. Instead of turning to computer experts and consultants, skip tracers, and private investigators, you can unearth information for FREE (or at low cost) by conducting your own fact finding on the Internet! Learn how the Internet is changing the way you need to research in order to competently represent your clients – and to avoid ethical or malpractice issues. REGISTER TODAY!
