As the (non lawyer) who fell into managing all US legal firm interactions for my day job, I support this list.
If you are comfortable with legal documents; have a law dictionary to understand what specific language means; and read historical case law on the topic in question, you will be well prepared to have a seat at the table with your attorneys.
- feoren 3y ago> read historical case law on the topic in question Is this even at all accessible to anyone who isn't already in a major law firm? I'm assuming it requires some sort of thousand-dollar subscription to an exploitative publishing house?

Assuming you are in the US, all case law is public domain (although documents used in cases aren't) https://guides.loc.gov/case-law/databases-online-resources https://guides.loc.gov/case-law/databases-online-resources
- bombcar 3y agoYou just need a law library nearby. Most moderate-sized cities have them. If not, call the city or county clerk and ask, they often have access at the courthouse to PACER and friends.
- Scoundreller 3y agoAny big case you want to read about, and many more, will be on RECAP (pacer backwards). https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/ https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/ Put it in your deepweb toolbox. You can also get some free credit every quarter on PACER. With the recap extension, you can contribute that to RECAP automagically.
