The old Lexis-Nexis had a nice box where you could input relevant pieces of a case citation. The new and improved version does not. <\/p>\n
I had a student come to the desk with note that said: Texas v Johnson 491 V.(unreadable) 397 (1989)<\/p>\n
The Legal tab was of no help. Nor was the Help. After talking to Dan for about 10 minutes we found this case by doing the following:<\/p>\n
Go to “easy search”. <\/p>\n
Type in “Texas vs. Johnson” and use the “s” in vs. <\/p>\n
Select the legal box. <\/p>\n
Leave year range to “Previous 2”<\/p>\n
The actual case is: <\/a><\/a>Texas vs. Johnson,<\/span><\/span> 491 US 397 (1989).<\/a><\/p>\n Now to test the Dan method I found Johnson v. Quarterman in Lexis and tried to search for it. <\/p>\n Usign the “vs.” I could not bring it up. However, if I used just “v.” it will appear in the list. <\/p>\n So, when students start coming to the reference desk for legal cases you’ll have to try both methods. <\/p>\n -Brad The old Lexis-Nexis had a nice box where you could input relevant pieces of a case citation.
