A computer search would have given me a list of pertinent cases, but without that I had to read everything. That is harder by far, but you end up learning a lot more. I was forced to remember cases because making copies of everything was too expensive.

If they were words on a screen that you could pull up anytime you wished, that phenomenon wouldn't happen as easily. Shon Hopwood
