Students learning law for the first time must master a wide range of skills. These include locating, reading, and writing about particular types of documents such as court judgments, legislation and scholarly articles that they may not have encountered before. They must learn to cite these materials in a rigorous and careful way. They are also challenged by new types of assessment, such as moot courts, presentations, and group work.
How to Think, Write and Cite, Third Edition, is an accessible book which explains how to tackle each of these tasks, in a straightforward, easy-to-read style, packed with practical guidance and the benefit of the authors’ many years of experience as researchers and teachers. It explains the OSCOLA Ireland citation style which is commonly used in many third-level institutions.
This new edition has been fully revised, includes a new chapter on ‘sources of law’ and has an extensive discussion of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). It also includes new sample exam answers.
