shlep: the Self-Help Law ExPress

Sorry to have been incommunicado.  Along with the usual holiday chores, I have been writing an article on offshore outsourcing of legal work.  According to some, we may be encountering a lot of U.S. legal work emanating out of India.But that is not the subject of this article. You may have encountered this situation: you are following a case on appeal, either because it’s interesting or it has facts similar to one in which you are involved. Finally, the appellate court renders its opinion…AND it’s unpublished!  You can’t find a copy of it in the reporters or anywhere else.  What the heck is an unpublished opinion?  Find out in “A Librarian’s Guide to Unpublished Judicial Opinions!”
