It updates the references to print and online sources throughout the text to reflect current editions, and instructs readers how to provide proper citations to legal materials according to the Bluebook (20th ed. 2015) and/or the Greenbook (14th ed. 2018). This book is intended for law students, attorneys who practice law in Texas, and the many thousands of additional individuals who engage in legal research in a practical setting.--Publisher.
