Law Research is AWESOME!..... WooHoo!....
Professor Nagle wanted a copy of the actual case that address whether or not a burrito is a sandwich (Apparently the world wanted to know, tee-hee). In Worcester, Mass. recently, Superior Court Judge Jeffrey A. Locke "weighed in" on the question and ruled that a burrito is not a sandwich. The legalities of this case began in September, 2006 and ended October 30, 2006. known as: White City Shopping Center, L.P. v. PR Restaurants, LLC d/b/a/ Bread Panera. Its an interesting case read, and I used my new found legal skills to acquire an actual copy of the case.

Professor Rice wanted a copy of the actual article in which Sean Wilentz, of Princeton University recently published examining the question: Is President the Worst President in History? One of America's leading historians assesses George W. Bush. I utilized one of the electronic databases linked to Hesburgh to find my answer. Rolling Stone Magazine, May 6, 2006, Issue 999, p.32.

One of my favorite 2L students came by inquiring about a question regarding attorney fees with bankruptcy cases. I went straight to the print source and found. Dwight was proud! It makes real sense sometimes to locate the print source before going into Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis.
