Resumen de Assessing the Influence of Computer-Assisted Legal Research: A Study of California Supreme Court Opinions

Paul Hellyer

• Mr. Hellyer reviews the literature regarding CALR and identifies several hypotheses regarding quantitative differences in the results of print-based research and CALR. He then analyzes California Supreme Court opinions to determine CALR�s effect on the quantity, recency, and types of legal authority cited by the court. The data fail to support the commentators� hypotheses.
