1. Evolution of Research Sources: From Digests to Hyperlinks
Traditionally, legal issues would be researched using Digests, a series of books that used a standardized alphabetical classification system of main topics (such as “Burglary” or “Searches and Seizures”) and Key numbers (subtopics such as “Defenses” or “Probable Cause”) that were identical to the topics and Key numbers used in case headnotes. Using the main topic in boldface and the Key number that appeared at the beginning of each headnote for a case, digest editors collected headnotes on specific points of law from cases within a given jurisdiction.
Although the print versions of Digests (and case reporters) have been phased out, understanding Key numbering is critical

Start by Reading a Secondary Source
• Online (or Books): If you need to educate yourself about an unfamiliar issue, start by reading a secondary source, such as an encyclopedia, A.L.R., a hornbook, or a commercial guide to find articles that explain and survey the law.
• Online (or Books): For codes, use the Table of Contents to locate the general issue and then look for specific code sections to read.
Identify Terms to Use for Research
• Parties: Identify the parties to the case by their class (e.g., minors), occupation (doctor), or relationship (tenant, heir).
• Places: Consider where the problem arose, such as public buildings, amusement parks, or sidewalks.
• Things: Include objects involved in the dispute, such as automobiles.
• Basis of Action: Negligence, breach of contract, conversion, search and seizure are some ideas to use for terms.
• Defenses: Assumption of the risk, infancy, and other defenses if relevant.
• Relief Sought: Punitive damages, injunction, annulment, and other forms of relieve should be included in the search terms as needed
Use Research Terms to Search Online Sources
• Write a focused query using the research terms you identified. A query using terms and connectors will yield a more focused result than a general query.
• Use the categories (cases, secondary sources, etc.) to find controlling authorities.
Narrow the search by using specific sources or dates or expand the search to
Who is the decision-maker in the case (you are supposed to identify with) and what position, title and responsibilities do they hold?
As viewed by many HIM professionals Computer-assisted coding is a valuable tool for enhancing the effectiveness of coding and billing. CAC software scans medical documentation in the electronic health record (EHRs) using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, identifying key terminology and proposing codes for that specific treatment or service. Human coder then revised these codes. CAC can also investigate the background of key words to conclude whether they need coding.
Their jargon includes a lot of legal terms. Examples include discovery, Writ, continued, PSI, and restitution. Discovery is a formal request by a party in a case to provide them with the information they have on the case. Continuance is rescheduling a case for another day. Restitution is money that the defendant has to pay to the victim. Pre-sentence investigation (PSI) is background investigation done on a person who has been convicted of a crime. A writ of habeas corpus (writ) is an order to transport a defendant to court from their holding facility.

The action is an intentional tort. This means doing a civil wrong and validating a legal duty to another party.

• Explain that the remedies can be covered in court enforceable undertakings or ordered by the Court.
Being assigned the position of a ruler is a big honor and responsibility. As the ruler of a country, one must be wise in making important decisions, know what’s in the country’s best interest and be prepared and mentally ready for anything (Front Branching Subordinate). Prince George IV, The Voluptuary, displays many attributes that would clearly make him unfit to be a good leader (Appositive).
One of the ways I could do this by becoming more familiar with the library database. During my high school projects, we did not need to always use scholarly sources so I usually just did Google searches for my projects but in this class I had to use scholarly sources for some of my information which was good as I learned to navigate and sort in the library’s extensive database. I was also able to learn how to look at credibility. During high school I just used the first articles I could find that would help with my topic. I did not really give the credibility a second thought but in Composition 1 I learned to take the credibility of an author into account when using that source for my research. Lastly, I learned about doing academic research by doing pertinent research on my topic. Once again in high school I looked at research and thought it was good but I didn’t read it thoroughly and found that sometimes I did not get the information I needed for my project. In Composition 1 I learned this as I struggled to find some relevant items sometimes but overall I could gather the correct information for my projects. In my journalism project I was also able to join the academic “conversation” on the
