The Thurgood Marshall School of Law has more than 699,000 volumes in its library, subscribes to a multitude of journals, and makes available countless other digital resources to the faculty and students. Walking into a library to conduct legal research offers a nostalgic sense of yesteryear mixed with a feeling of importance. The diligent student finds a large table hidden in the back so as not to be disturbed. He takes in the physical evidence of the accumulated wisdom of masterful legal scholars and seasoned jurists. After the awe wears off, he pulls out his iPad and laptop and begins the journey.

Legal research in the past five years has shifted from library research to online researching. Technology has changed the research process just like it has changed the practice of law. “There’s an app for that” has transformed itself from a catchy slogan to an everyday reality for the modern attorney.
