Electronic legal retrieval / by Philip Slayton. : Co22-473/2E-PDF
"While computerization of the information resources of the professions has greatly increased in the last five years, there has been little examination of its potential impact upon both the body of knowledge and the structures that have historically served the professions.

Using the field of law as a model of a classical profession, Prof. Slayton of McGill University examines the potential impact of these retrieval systems upon the legal environment, particularly as it relates to the possible distortions it may produce in legal problem-solving where the case law has been a traditional tool.
