Create a humanized response from me to this classmate with added insight from me, The most important tools for legal study are legislative history and computer-assisted legal research (CALR). Legislative history is the collection of papers that show what lawmakers wanted to do and how they did it while making a law. Some of these are different forms of a bill, meeting records, committee reports, and votes. When a law isn't clear or when lawyers want to question a court's interpretation by showing what the law was meant to do in the first place, they look to congressional past. USCCAN, Congressional Record, Congress.gov, Westlaw, and Lexis Advance (CH10-1.PPT, slides 2-6) provide access to these materials, according to the Special Research Issues slideshow. Legal workers can use tools like Lexis Advance and Westlaw to do research online with computer-assisted legal research. CALR works quickly and correctly, and it's especially useful when looking up known quotes, checking the reliability of sources, or finding across regions. The Digital Library video says that CALR uses both natural language and Boolean finding. This means that researchers can tailor their searches by using words and connections to get accurate results (CH11-1.PPT, slides 3-5). It also talks about tools like Shepard's (Lexis) and KeyCite (Westlaw) that make sure cases that are mentioned stay "good law" (CH11-1.PPT, slides 7-9). CALR is quick and easy to use, but users should be aware of how much it
