http://www1.law.umkc.edu/faculty/callister/smallfirm/Small_Firm_Resources_Map.ppt
for both general Missouri and one area of specialty of your choosing.
- You are opening a new firm in Missouri, practicing both general Missouri
law and one area of your choosing (from no. 1 above). You have $10,000
to spend on information resources. What would you purchase to address
both Missouri law and your chosen area of law? For your answer,
include the title, price of purchase or license (this is part of your
$10,000), cost of updates (use this year's information on updates, but do
not deduct from your $10,000), and an explanation on why you picked this
item and how you will use it. For this assignment, include both print
and electronic resources. You may use the resources from no. 1 above,
but you probably will not be able to purchase all of them.
