Congratulations to Associate Dean Mary Algero, whose fifth edition of Louisiana Legal Research was recently published by Carolina Academic Press.

The book is written to assist attorneys, law students, paralegals, librarians, and others in researching legal materials effectively and efficiently. While mainly focused on Louisiana law, the book provides the reader with information necessary to research federal law and laws of other jurisdictions. The book also includes "lagniappe," fun facts throughout the book that provides readers with relevant historical facts about the topics being discussed.
