Preclusion Tips

In the same way that reading the advisory committee notes can help you understand the federal rules, the restatement sections have notes and illustrations that can give you a lot of good examples and help you discover the contours of the doctrines. You can read them by going on to Lexis and doing this:

Research -> Under the Secondary Legal heading, click Restatements -> Judgments -> Click on the rule sections (second one) ->type in the section number you want, and do not click search. Instead click the button sayikng search Table of Contents only. This will limit the results a little better. Scroll down the list and click on the one you want.

You can print for free in the Lexis lab.

I highly recommend this as a way to augment your studies (especially for issue preclusion, section 27).
