DISSERTATION : Some Applications of Manual and Computer Technology to Legal Research. This study was a careful investigation of computer legal retrieval of information as opposed to standard manual systems of legal research. The research questionnaire was administered to students taking legal research at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill’s School of Law. The doctoral dissertation was presented at an international computer conference at Acadia University in Nova Scotia.
