I am concerned that students using these resources as quick shortcuts may be denied a full understanding of legal research and method. Are we breeding a new generation of lawyers that will be ill-equipped to find answers themselves without using “cliff note” style legal tools? How will they provide real value to clients?

Part of the process of settling on a good topic for legal writing is knowing what resources you have at hand. Consulting the law librarians at your own law school about their collections in employee benefits law is a good first step. In general though, current awareness resources (like blogs and newsletters) that provide coverage of new developments in a particular area of the law can provide ideas. For instance, the Tarlton Law Library has a list of current awareness resources in employment law available within its larger research guide.
